State of the Garden Address: DefCon 4!

Image
The City Gardener's Handbook: The Definitive Guide to Small Space Gardening With nuptials looming and the very real threat of having our reception at our apartment instead of the theatre, (due to said theatre being a bunch of dunderheads) the State of the Garden has moved to DEFCON 4!!! Luckily I did some raking and weeding before all this rain started, so it could look much worse now. My perennials are happily making their way into the world though. The first strategic planting attack will be Mother's Day. I'll be sticking with reds, whites, and yellows for annual flowers. I must work on the front yard this year beyond flower boxes on the porch (I have generally ignored it in the past). Perhaps I should read up on some city gardening?

Comics, Quilts, Makeup, and Costumes...yee haw!

Oh my it has been a very busy couple of weeks.  12th Night at the college has come and gone.  It looked stunning but nearly killed us.  Ditto for the dance concert.  I sewed like the wind.   We got so much accomplished and the end results looked amazing.  I also managed to dance without falling on my face.  I did jack up the tap piece a bit but I don't think it was catastrophic.  The ballet piece went off without a hitch.  On friday, I hit the Benefit counter at Bloomingdale's on Michigan Avenue to get my red lipstick for the wedding and got hooked up with some wonderful swag.  After that I hopped on the bus and headed to C2E2.  The convention was great and friday was perfect for me...totally not crowded.  I was not prepared for it though...just way to too tired to take full advantage of the day.  I did get my comics signed by Jimmy Palmiotti , Amanda Conner , Paul Mounts, and Gail Simone .  I also went to three panels: Comics and Mythology, Gays in Comics, and Monster Mash-up
