Garden

Sean and his younger brother Thomas did a fantastic job in our backyard. It would be appropriate to call the backyard "the garden" at this point. That's how nice it looks. The brothers got rid of all the weeds and trash and old stuff left lying around from last summer.

We picked up flowers and herbs at the nursery, to plant in the garden. I wish I could list the flowers we bought, but truth to be told, I have no idea what we picked out. Except for one flower that's called SALIVA. Ha! I thought that was really cool and funny until I read the label again and realized it said "Salvia". Not saliva. Plus, it's technically not a flower, it's some type of mint, according to Wikipedia.

Oh yeah, Thomas also got a Venus Flytrap - a carnivore plant. How crazy that a plant can eat meat. Too bad Kompis the cat decided to eat the meat-eating plant. It's in his belly right now, the whole thing except for the soil.

My contribution to this domestic weekend was to clean the windows. And so I did - I rubbed the windows spotless using newspaper and real Windex, the way you're supposed to clean stuff like windows. The windows are so clean that birds can crash into them no problem if they come this way.

Aaaah, it's not so bad doing house & garden stuff.
