Plants, Roses, Rainbows and Santa Bulldogs

[aimeekitty]

Futurama dogtags, a Christmas gift from our supervising director. I LOVE THEM. The envelope is pretty awesome, too. DOOP!


Derek and Crisso catching rainbows

Marcus! :) He's my friend Trish's giant bulldog.


~~~~~~~~~~~~ on to the PLANTS! :D ~~~~~~~~~~~~

A big moving truck came with a ton of plants for me today from the nursery! SO EXCITED. My mom really loves plants, too, so it was really fun to get to share that with her.

here's some mystery bonus roses I got from http://www.roguevalleyroses.com
I think I'm going to plant them in pots to see at least what color they are before I decide where to put them. I wonder what they are?!


Showa-No-Sakae Camellias! It's a low, more groundcover version of camellia. so cool, I love the trailing branches. Double blooms!


double pink flowering cherry tree! :) I'm actually not sure on the specific variety, he's going to get back to me on that.


snowfountain white weeping flowering cherry. :D behind it you can see a Lady Banks rose and some wisteria.


I found some pink penstemon, some fleabane daisies and a few white poppies! I have some seeds coming, too, that I'm going to play around with till spring.


bicolor morea, lavendar, rosemary and thyme


White and blue bearded iris bulbs from my mom's yard... originally from my Mommy Vi's yard, one of the sweetest women who ever lived. Also, I bought some white muscari bulbs today.


Step 1 of the broken concrete patio!


what it looks like today! (aren't they doing a nice job? I think it looks really great.) The thyme is going to grow inbetween the rocks!

Oh! I didn't know you worked on Futurama! What's your position, if you don't mind me asking? :)

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I'm an Assistant Director :)

[netbug009.livejournal.com]

Awesome! :D I must admit to Futurama not really being my style, but It's still totally awesome meeting somebody in the field. I REALLY wanna work in animation someday. I wanna write scripts. 8)

Bitchin tags! That's a great Christmas present! :D Your bosses rock.

And holy crap your garden is going to look amaaazing! :D

OMG that PUPPY. I just want to pick him up and smother him with hugs and kisses and be smothered with sloppy doggy kisses. Bulldogs are always SO adorable. <33

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

haha, I know he's so cute, right...? He looks like a puppy in my photos, but he's actually a really old bulldog. he's a sweetie. He comes to work sometimes. :) She has a baby bulldog too. :)

Those photos are great. ^^ This is so lovely! And Merry Christmas to you! Last Christmas I got your book, 'Japan Ai' as a gift from my dad, and I loved it (I'm a total Japan Otaku!)! So this holiday marks my 1 Year anniversary of recieving my treasure, written by you. -^^- Happy Holidays!!!

Your yard is shaping up nicely! :D

I wanna know the story behind your dad putting on the wig... ^_^

[gothiclibrarian.livejournal.com]

Wow, the progress on your garden is really amazing! I loooooove the concrete. Will you leave it "natural" toned or go for one of those cool dyes?

Waiting with baited breath to see those plants in their permanent homes...especially the roses.

Yay for mystery roses! I wonder if they're maybe duplicates of a variety you ordered?

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I was really thinking about staining it... but seeing it in practice now... I really like it how it is. and I asked him, he said I can stain it later if I want... so for now... it stays! :D

Two of them were labeled, but they said they were mystery ones, soooo... maybe they are mislabled? I have no idea. The darker red leaves don't really look like any of the varieties I got (at least not that I can tell, but I guess we'll see!) It's kindof geekily exciting!

all the little baby band roses are so small,... I have no idea what to expect, but already I feel protective of them and I don't mind that they're just sticks. haha. HOpefully I'll learn fast enough so that they will grow ok and not die. <3

thanks for playing with me, I always admired your roses and it's fun to talk to you about it. :) especially since you like older styles.

Wah envy ^^ I will have to live vicariously through you and hope Mitch doesn't water it in his own manly way LOL

Wow, your yard is leaping forward by leaps! Can't wait to see it all done!
