From About.com:

"Everyone knows why knots were invented: To fasten things together, to permanently join two or more elements. Thus, marriage is when you 'tie the knot.' Macrame is when you tie lots of knots to make a hammock out of netting strong enough to hold the weight of a human being, or maybe even two."

So..."Knot" = marriage. "Macrame" = bondage & polyamory?





I did not know that.

So, I have one of those 5-lamp generic chandelier-type light fixtures in my dining room, and it's nothing special, really - but I really love the shadows and lights it makes on the ceiling when the light's turned on:


Isn't that nifty?

"Vacuum stores are like guitar stores...but they don't attract the same clientele. If they did, they'd be full of broke motherfuckers who just want to run the new vacuums."

• 22:43 It took a year & 2 months: there's a cat on the kitchen counter. #
• 11:24 Sinuses so clogged that I feel high. #
• 12:21 I wonder if I have enough stuff at home to make some Hot-n-Sour soup? Shit, no mushrooms... #
• 15:08 Finding it very hard to adjust to new schedule, even a month and a half later. Where'd my life go?? #
• 16:22 Need pants. Have lots of fabric I'm not using. Must figure this out. #
• 16:28 I should put these boots in the charity box. They're uncomfy, too long for my short feet, and totally not my style. #
• 16:33 I don't even know why I bought them. #
• 16:41 Inspiration fail: there just aren't that many kinds of pants in the world. #

Well, almost. Hee. I like to tell people that I live not in the country, but within arm's reach. About two blocks from the city limit AND county line, actually. Not that that matters, really, it's just neat. I wish I could move that two blocks, though. There's a decrepit bit of an ex-ranch back there where they grow chickens and broken-down cars that I would love to buy and fix up and fill with gardens and fruit trees. I'd probably even keep the cars, but the chickens would have to go. Wait...reverse that.

Anyway, all that to say that I'm an "outlying area" as well as a "low-lying area" - where they always warn freezes will happen. It got pretty damned cold last night at my house, but I don't think we hit freezing - some plants are alive this morning that wouldn't be if it'd actually reached 32º. I really miss my little weather station, though. I got one as a free gift from my garden club (an apology gift, hehe) several years ago, but it broke last year. It was digital, and would tell me the time and temp outside and inside, and I could scroll back and see averages over the past few days and short-term temperature trends. I used to like scrolling back and seeing what the temp was overnight. Oh, well.

At any rate, the warning got me to finally get out into the garden last night and take ridiculous amounts of cuttings from my Coleus plant - I'm hoping I can nurse them through the winter and have a bunch to plant in the Spring. I also took cuttings of my black Sweet Potato Vine; but I forgot to grab some of the Persian Shield. I'll do that tonight. I had pictures of all these cuttings - I just love the look of bunches of glass vases and jars full of bits of plants - but none of them came out.

So here's a floppy, freshly-bathed puppy instead:

< - Raven's in the back.
You should see all three of them crowd in there together sometimes. Hee.

Anyone recognize this plant?



I found this at the Texas Renaissance Festival on Sunday. It's huge - 12' tall. At first I thought it was a tree, but on closer inspection it turned out to be a woody vine or rambling bush trained into a tree form.

The leaves are 1-2" long, and half as wide. 4-5 petals on each flower, and 3-4 long curly stamens in the center that give the flower a bit of an orchid-like appearance.

No scent that I could discern, though it was late in the day, so if it's a morning bloomer any scent may have already dissipated.

Anybody?
