Amaryllis update

The last seedpod opened today. When I came up to my office the seeds were on the verge of spilling onto the sill. So I've harvested them all. This weekend I will make up instructions and send them along to the people who've asked for them. They'll probably get 10-15 seeds apiece, enough to take up a bit of space if they germinate well.

Also: we hacked the top off the curly willow last night. It looked puny and there is wonderful bushy growth coming out where we hacked off the lesser trunk a couple weeks ago.

Also also -- a last plant rescue is coming home to roost. It is a lilac that I bought as a 6" baby, raised to a 3' plant, then relocated at a friend's in 2005. She has had a professional landscape architect come in and the pink nonfragrant lilac doesn't fit with the concept. It's 6' tall now. I guess I'll pot it up and leave it out front, surrounded by rescue irises and daffodils.

OMG OMG dying of teh cute

I've been meaning to post this but have been sidetracked by several extremely interesting developments in my day job.

There is The Grandson on my lap, covered with The Blanket. If you want to see more christening weekend pictures, click on the photo and cruise the set.

Dreamwidth?

Why are several people whose LJs I follow experimenting with this Dreamwidth thing? Did Insanejournal not work out as a backup?
