I believe the correct title is "Plant Weirdo"

In case it hasn't been obvious, I have a bit of a thing for plants.  All. The. Plants.

When funds allow, I purchase all the varieties of favorite types of plants, like tomatoes, and any rare types, particularly of herbs, that I can get my green-stained, dirt covered hands on.

This year has been one of the first where I could buy interesting seeds and the dirt and containers to put them in, (for more than one type of plant).  Normally, it's tomatoes.  One variety, maybe two and then I am usually out of space and resources.  While I am sadly still restricted to containers, I may have planted more than a couple types of tomato.  I spend mornings and afternoons giddily bouncing between front and backyard; watering, picking, re-adjusting.  

I mean, I managed a blueberry!

And wee pumpkins!

There's also the squirrel planted snapdragons in the front:

Along with other wildflowers that while I don't know what they are, I enjoy very much!

There is also knitting.  Of the four projects I am currently working on, three are green:

Surprising to no one, the fourth one is black.  It's also garter stitch and not very exciting to look at quite yet.

All four of them can be worked on while I read.

Thoughts moving too fast

Makes blogging about anything so very difficult.

There were the obnoxious, drunken, loud and slightly belligerent neighbors last weekend who decided that I didn't need to get to sleep at a reasonable hour. I really don't think 2 am is reasonable.

There's the fact that there are at least five people under the age of 14 in my house almost daily now. I'm happy my children have friends, just very much missing a peaceful afternoon.

The fact that with a little bit of urging from the lovely folks at Raw Fu, I bought three books I had been drooling on for months; The Square Foot Garden, The Four Season Harvest, and Ani's Raw Food Kitchen. Please note, none of them are knitting books. Yes, I am feeling fine, thank you.

I did break down and buy a vintage dress pattern. It's a cocktail dress a la 1958 and very Mrs. Robinson sexy. Made in dark green silk, I should be able to stop traffic.

I have also been trying to find ideas on being green and frugal. This would work so much better if I didn't already apply so many in my household.
I don't have a clothesline, our HOA forbids them. Apparently this is because homeowners struggling to pay their electric bills are more aesthetically pleasing than said clothesline. I've been thinking a folding drying rack out of sight on the back porch might be acceptable. I did run around changing out old light bulbs to the cfls that had been stashed in a closet "for later". Most of what I've been finding and using is a combination of current energy saving ideas and World War 2 "make do and mend" ideas. They mesh surprisingly well, where they don't overlap entirely. Just makes me feel decidedly old-fashioned, people thought I was weird before.

I just console myself with things like raw chocolate chip cookies.
