The Curse Of The Hydrangea
It's finally raining here in Virginia, so I'm stuck inside, caretaker without a cause, too wet to paint.
I have made stellar progress with the disconnecting of the suck ass Direcway satellite Internet service and also site assessment and near hookup of Adelphia Cable. With Direcway I just lied to them and said I was leaving the country for a year. I was afraid of what I would say if asked for my real reasons for disconnecting. Suffice to say it was a frustrating relationship with the Hughes Corp. I have just located the two cable plug-ins in the bighouse so really I am still working my ass off.
I am supervising in hands off fashion the installing of the new trampoline surface, which I can see happening out the window if I crane my neck like Linda Blair.
Filled up those sample bottles this morning with tap water so the town can test them for lead, which they do every year at the same six properties in the area. I'm exhausted just thinking about my work load.
There is a Latino landscaping crew of five men out here living in my cottage while they complete a rather ambitious project, over a 3 week period. I would help them move around those 200 pound slabs of flagstone but it intimidates some people to see someone as skinny as me sling gargantuan stones around like they were pieces of styro-foam.
I am stuck up here in the bighouse, killing mice by the bucket load, and at night sipping a wide variety of hard liquor while watching movies. I have Netflix resumed but the first batch was mostly unremarkable while the little notebook full of DVDs from Mr. BC have all been pretty good watching, including Syrianna, Jarhead, Junebug, and TransAmerica. .
Yesterday I got a sandwich and a bottle of water at the quaint, sparsely stocked gourmet grocery in town and paid almost nine dollars for the privilege. Then drove to Culpeper for more paint, sanding discs from the Lowe's, and some frozen food from the Walmart. At Walmart I got two regular deluxe pizzas from my friends at Red Baron, a french bread pizza, two chicken pot pies, a hearty and delicious meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans, and a pint of juicy and sweet cubed pineapple, all for 18 dollars.
The pool area is really going to be elegant thanks to these kickass landscapers. The good news is those hateful hydrangeas by the far end of the pool got dug up, the bad news is they replanted them closer to the house, the worst news is 10 or 12 new hydrangeas have been planted, near the pool and elsewhere. I am cursed by hydrangeas.
It was hotter than crap out here yesterday but today, not really. At the gas station down the hill a tractor driver was talking about the rain last night. A waitress at the diner talked about the lightning.
What you got against hydrangeas?
hydranageas suck
i love hydrangeas. i really only get to see them at the beach (jersey) or on the cape, not really a city plant. cut some flowers and bring them inside. what, they giving you grief? send me a bouquet.
blue flowers? i dont want to be a flower hater but... this year im growing hearty purple pansies and wintered over red geraniums and ivies. but who can complain about ambient flowers of any stripe?
Steve--I just hate them.
Bill--eloquently put
Linda--you and Mike and that crazy wild lovely child of yours come down, you may take 10 bouquets back with you.
Bill--who can complain is me.
hydrangea=hydrophobia + angina
Hey man, watch your mouth, this is a family site. Oh, angina, never mind.
manson family?
If the cross on the forehead fits.
By the way--Bill said hearty purple pansy, Bill said hearty purple pansy, Bill said hearty purple pansy, what? No, there's nothing wrong with it, I just hope I can get him to say it in person next time I see him.
Here is the land of never freezing, I've got an 8' hydrangia in front of the house. Flowers the size of your head.
"hearty purple pansy" there i said it again.
How about 100 feet tall, with mind-blowing blossoms... and you’re arguing about herbaceous plants? Trees are the ultimate flowers.
Hey, I've also got a Tulip Magnolia. It looks awesome every February. I also like the grandiflora. We had one in the front yard in Houston. One of the slowest growing trees I know of.
you people are so spoiled in your land of never freezing, up here I had to use a blow torch to get these little fuckers to bloom.
That Californian Mark is now the only true inhabitant of American non-freezing territory. The Virginia growing season is pretty short, compared to New Orleans anyway. Good job on the flowers, you should get a holster for your heat gun.
Hello, guys!
This site is extraordinary to me. I contain conditions tried such things, so I don’t actually recognize what to write. Anyway…
I’m Jessica. I’m singular and I commiserate with abandoned and abandoned. I would like to meet an attractive and clever boy with a view making up serious relations. No swift-flowing relations! I don’t call for to be forward. So, do not spur on me. I upright call for to bear a age or two to find at fault whether we disposition costume each other.
I’m shrewd and off-the-wall, and many reveal that I’m incredibly cute. I procure lots of entertaining things to impart you about.
it's me http://postimg.org/image/9n0rv8vi9/
If you are interested let’s crack at and unearth out how we intention control it. I security we’ll pull down good benefits from our fellowship.
