I have gone out and gotten plants today; nandina domestica, which looks like bamboo but isn't. The big commercial nursery has roses in crazy bloom this year, and a good half acre of flowers. Inspirational, but I remind myself that each plant requires me to dig a hole...
We bought our friend who used to live on Melrose Hill (in the house which was Jamie Lee Curtis's in her last Friday the Thirteenth appearance; Melrose Hill is like that) a nandina for a wedding gift; it's supposed to be the silent friend of married people. You tell your angry thoughts about your partner to the nandina, and it keeps your secrets and cools your wrath.
Julia, they're pretty plants, but cattle will break fences to get to them, so we don't have one.
I will mostly be posting on LJ, for the forseeable future; starting in late May or early June I'll be editing the long Angel story called "Just Another Irish Rose" and posting it here, in preparation to archiving it.
I put up this picture as a placeholder yesterday morning and them got too busy to post what I'd intended to post on LJ.
Julia, Dreamwidth is likely to be an old-fic journal and Live Journal what it has been for the forseeable future.
