28*, feels like 18*, 63% humidity, NE 12 mph wind, cloudy, FLOOD WARNING The thousand dollar dog is in big trouble. Mr. Hyper blamed the cats on getting into my ghetto grow light stand, knocking it down, eating my ferns, unpotting them, and eating most of the catnip plants soil and all. But I knew better. I was angry. I had been babying these plants, tenderly administering my love to them. I had

46*, 100% humidity, sw 6 mph wind, Rain, FLOOD WARNING, FLASH FLOOD WATCH I'm going to talk about me for a few minutes, mainly because I'm in a meditative mood.

Expanses of yellow lawn, sidewalks, and roofs were uncovered from their cold crispy blanket and mounded piles of snow.

20*, 73% humidity, W 6 mph wind, fair Sasha yesterday was not feeling good at all. She had the dry heaves, trying her best to throw up. I'm blaming the pain meds, I know they do the same thing to me. So I have not given her any today to see how she does though this morning she seems to be feeling better and ate with the appetite of a puppy. Yesterday, she was doing her hardest to get to some

The cats help me keep the seedlings pinched so they will grow bushy. These were Ferris Morris seeds.Peppermint Mentha x piperita-- Already started in the house. I wouldn't mind at all if this escaped into the lawn...The seeds were a freebie from Celestrial

We have a gravel driveway, which, as anyone who has one knows, is a great incubator for weeds.
