plants and couchs
well I think I've made a decision on a couch. Found one I liked at Big Sandy Superstores (yes it should be Sandy's but keep in mind where I live). Debating on it now. More than that couch I wanted this enormous Canopy bed. I could keep a man tied to that no problems.
I ended up not going into the Adena Mansion simply because I felt bad for all the plants I just purchased (and as mansions go, it wasn't that impressive unless you remember just HOW old it really is) but it's not that far away so I'll go back.
I did however make out like a bandit at the heirloom plant sale. I picked up a Black Hollyhock, something called a cypress vine with little red flowers on it that looks to be a tenacious climber, a flat of nicotiana that I can’t wait until they bloom (night bloomers), something called a Job’s Tear, an heirloom of about 4000 years of cultivation that makes little grey seeds with holes in them that have been used as beaded decoration for about that long, a mimosa pudica (a ‘sensitive plant) that I’ve been wanting for a long time, it folds up when you touch it (the poor thing hated the car ride, it’s all folded up) and I got some black tomatoes (doubling my tomato plant count....where I think I’m putting them I’m not sure) Tula’s from the Urkaine. And all for under 23$. Now, to get things to plant them in. That’ll run me triple what I paid for the plants.
I was hoping to go to a bookstore while I was up in Chillicothe so I hit the yellow pages. I couldn't help but laugh when ALL they had were either christian book stores and adult ones (and I know which I'd rather shop in)

That's Katchoo and David, from Strangers in Paradise. I made this icon from the cover of the most recent issue, when we find out David's gonna die. *sobs* I love David. He's the reason I read SiP.

Drat. Mowing would kill the sunflowers.
