Although I didn’t manage a picture of the plants I bought yesterday, I did get a picture of the plants I bought today.
I truly think I have an illness. My mom got in the car once they were all loaded and was like “you know you’re enabling me right?” I laughed and said “you know you’re enabling ME?!” Thankfully we’re buying things that attract butterflies and hummingbirds, which means that bees will love them too. And a lot of this was $5 or less so we only spent $88 dollars today.
I only planted four things from yesterdays shopping spree. It’s hard planting things without my mom being home because if I plant it in a place she doesn’t agree with then I get in trouble and have to dig up the plant (which isn’t good for it) to move it. Thankfully my mom’s going to come home around noon tomorrow so we can go register for college. She’s going to take a class on Excel and I’m going to take Italian, History, and a botany class if I can manage. I decided on taking Italian because not only is it the language of my people, but it’s similar enough to Spanish that I should be ok learning it. I’m really bad with second languages, and I really didn’t want to take Spanish 101 (because there’s no way I could keep up with second year). So hopefully those classes are all available and I don’t have to struggle to get this whole college thing to work. Like I do everything else in my life.
My sister was gone all day today, surprise surprise. She was home until 1 and then I never heard from her again. We got her at 9 after our shopping spree. She still hasn’t changed her ways of communication. We were supposed to pick her up at an elementary school “at the swings” but she was no where to be found. We called her and she said several times that she was in front of the school. We were parked next to the side walk in front of the school and there was no one in sight. She even started getting snippy with us for no reason. Five minutes later she comes walking around a corner a block away. When she finally got in the car my mom asked her where she had been because she said she was in front of the school. She had been at a park on the swings, which was “in front of the school” in that it was a block away from the entrance. Sometimes my sister really has no clue about anything.
Oh, I did do one thing that was productive today. I spray painted the lid of my bee hive which is metal (you put it on the in winter) because it got scratched and would’ve rusted. It took me about two hours because of drying time but I got several coats on and it doesn’t look too bad. One less thing that needs doing! I do still need gloves though and I completely forgot the place that B told me about. I’m going to text him tomorrow anyway though because I want to know how the bees are doing. I should be getting them sometime next week or the week after. I just hope they do well in the yard! I’ve been trying to get plants they like and that will spread. I find plants that don’t reproduce, very annoying. If they aren’t going to go to seed, make more bulbs, or shoot out new runners, then I find no point in wasting my money on it. Unless of course it’s a shrub which is a different thing. I think with this sudden increase in pollinators though, the plants in the neighborhood will be hard-pressed not to reproduce like crazy.
Wow! 88 dollars, i have no idea what that is in pounds, but im guessing about 70 pounds. Must call you green fingers from now on. Bee’s scare me.
Haha, I suck at languages – italian is awesome.
Bless your sister, i’d love to have a sister. Steal clothes, steal makeup, make her my own personal slave.
It’s 58.2372 pounds actually.
I’m actually a little terrified of bee’s myself. ESPECIALLY if they land on my feet. The last time I was stung one got into my shoe and stung the top of my foot. I still can’t move my toes the way I used to. I think I’m more terrified of the buzzing though, because I instinctually relate the noise to hornets, which FREAK me out. I’ve never been stung by one thankfully, but I’ve heard they hurt a lot, and I’d rather not find out.
When you’re a 16 year old boy, stealing make-up and clothes from your younger sister is sort of frowned upon. At least in the US. So to me, my sister is just a nuisance. Bossing her around is kind of fun though. lol.
Haha, there goes my amazing mathematical skills..
Yeah, oh I’m exactly the same. I’ve never been stung by a bee, so the unknown is even more frightening! I never plan to be stung by a bee. Ever.
Oh, the buzzing is extremely creepy, especially if its RIGHT next to your ear. I do some sort of spaz attatck – it’s the look I use to attract boys…
Ah, for some reason I thought you were a girl :’) I take it back. Haha it would be fun.. hm, you could crossdress!..
I had to look it up, haha. I can’t ever remember the worth of a pound compared to a dollar. I just know a pound is worth more.
I didn’t plan to be stung lol. Hopefully the bees I get are nicer though. My dogs are going to be stung for sure (they enjoy chasing bees) but hopefully I can avoid it!
Hahahaha, I’m sure you have to beat them away with a stick.
It’s ok, EVERYONE assumes so. Telemarketers, people walking down the street, and anyone who reads my blog without checking my about page. My sister would greatly enjoy it if I became a drag queen. As would some of my moms friends lol. Apparently I’ve got the eyebrows for it.
Ah, I’m glad it’s not just me then…
Haha bless them, my dog enjoys chasing rabbits; the evil creature.
Of course, what can i say?
Haha! I would check it, but I have no idea where you click to get to it. Lol! Interesting.
Drag queen eyebrows.. nice!
My dogs also like chasing cats, squirrels, birds and possums. Baby possums to be precise. It was such a cute little baby possum!
