feel the beet [part deux]

just over a year ago i roasted my first beets.  this summer i grew some pitiful excuses for beet greens with liiiitle stringy roots attached.  no pics.  they went straight into the composter out of spite.  but the grocery store had giant beets on sale for about $4 a bag. 

how to grow paperwhites

the floral type.  not the e-reader.  but if you find a way to grow those, lemme know.

step 1: buy paperwhite bulbs
step 2: buy glassware at goodwill that may or may not have formerly been an ashtray
step 2.5: wash thoroughly
step 3: find bag of pebbles in garage
step 4: dump pebbles in glassware
step 5: put bulbs in pebbles
step 6: water
step 7: wait

2 weeks later [possibly an ashtray]

probably not an ashtray

glitter in the garden

but soft!  what light through yonder window breaks!  tis no wait.  that's just the garage light going on again. 

frank interlude

if we're fb friends, you already saw two of these.  and yes i did take a ridic number of selfies with frank.  but i was minding my own business, chillin at my computer, likely catching up on hours of hulu.  up hopped a kitty who proceeded to crawl into my hood and then up on my shoulder like a parrot.  in his few few moments of affection, unintentional movements on my part turn almost immediately to cat-inflicted-pain.  so i sat and endured.  and happily, my camera was within reach.
