03.20.09

119 days until spring. the days get longer on 12.21.08. not bad. i can do it. although, it's snowing like crazy right now. with any luck it'll snow bad enough to shut everything down tomorrow. yes, i'm like a child.

so, anyway, the papyrus plant in the above photo isn't suppose to survive the cold. i brought three of them in the house and they look terrible compared to the one i left outside. the plant outside has been smashed by snow and perks back up after the snow melts. it's green and as beautiful as it was in september. go figure.

Papyrus sedge or paper reed (Cyperus papyrus) is a monocot belonging to the sedge family Cyperaceae. It is a herbaceous perennial native to Africa.

i suggest snow sculpting to keep a garden look to the outdoors.

so first of all i love your pic...any tween boy surfing the web after a midnight showing of Twilight is going to fall in love with you...so, this is what I am going to do come May...have you come over and give me a backyard (not backdoor) consultation. I need your garden knowledge. In return I will make you guys dinner and dirty martinis...

i forgot to pick up my leaves before it snowed. i hope my grass has half the tenacity of your papyrus.

if not, i'll burn it in the spring.

i might just burn it anyways.

in principle.
