felis_lupusWe are done moving plants tomorrow, I think... if not, too bad. We're closed, everybody's on vacation next week. Thank goodness. Am tired.
But happy! Realized sometime today (around the 9th or 10th bucketload of shrubs..) that no matter how technologically advanced or computer-centralized or our society gets, there are still going to be groups of people that get together every now and then and make music together. Be it on various types of real instruments, one's own vocal chords, or fake plastic guitars, there is a certain amount of joy that can only come from real, good music. This makes me happy, and I am glad to be a part of it.
We are having unseasonably cold weather, apparently. I'm just happy it hasn't rained all week. I think this is the first time EVER that I have not put the shrubs to bed in a pouring rain or steady, miserable drizzle. I can take the cold, as long as I'm reasonably dry. And a good heater inside the loader helps too...
Thanks to this unseasonably and rather sudden cold weather, the waterfall at work is doing some really cool things... haven't taken the pump out yet, that's probably a project for tomorrow, but I will remember MY camera, and hopefully be able to get some more spiffy photos. The top of the pools are pretty much frozen, but where the falls come down the water is clear. The froth around it, however, is frozen. Also frozen bubbles. SO COOL. Spray and humidity has created some really, really nifty blobs of ice on the moss and rocks, and sculpture on branches that have dipped too low over the stream. It changes from hour to hour, of course. Moving water will do that. But it just keeps getting better. :)

kurlon was a complete and total NO WAY. Was encouraged by the listing and the price, but noted that there was only one photo available anywhere... hm. There was a reason. Without going into too much detail, the only reasonable thing to do was to raze the house that was there and put up a new one. Eep. No, no thank you. Lakeside or no, that's not *quite* what we had in mind...
