Happy Valentine’s Day. Really.

I mentioned yesterday that I am not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t even know if “Valentine’s” should have an apostrophe. Sheesh. If it wasn’t for the glitter I think I’d shoot Cupid with his/her (yeah, another reason I don’t “get” it) own arrow. But I am actually trying to spread some love in this post, and am failing miserably. It must be the blackness of my anti-Valentine heart oozing through the tips of my fingers. 

See. Can’t stop. I need to regroup. While I do, here is a love song for all my bloggy, twittery Valentines out there *swoon*

But I am not done with my gift to you, my bloggy pals! Have ya’ll heard of “linky love”. I know you have. Not only do bloggers do it for the comments, we also do it for the links/trackbacks, yes? C’mon… let’s be honest here. Well, I found a FUN site yesterday that will let me put some effort into my love for you. If you will leave a comment (yes a bit self-serving, but it really is the most efficient) with your twitter id and/or your link… I will send some linky love courtesy of http://linklove.hubspot.com. If you do not have a twitter id – no problem! Just make sure your link is included, and I will make it so. It is my Valentine gift to you. MWAH!!! MWAH!!! MWAH!!!

Dear Deer who is gettin’ all fat offa my flowers,

Stop it! You can have the weeds – all 3 acres of ‘em! I have only a select number of potted plants, and those flowers were not lovingly planted and sprinkled with Miracle Gro for you and your belly. I did all that for me and mine-sesses. The flowers are for beautification of my front porch, not for satiation of your appetite, nor for your gestational purposes.

When I walked out my front door this morning – it looked like horticultural massacre! Look what you did to my pretty flowers!!!

Little Deer… I’m here to tell ya, DON’T MESS WITH MAH FLOWERS!!!

Don’t you get all “Bambi-eyed” on me! I’m not falling for it. No more flowers for breakfast!

Do you hear me??? 

I said… !!! Do. You. HEAR. ME???!!!

Careful my four-legged friends, for if you do not heed my caution – next time I make ground turkey chili (while wearing my Confidence Apron, of course!) – I will make it with VENISON instead.

You have been warned.

Backdraft #8: Everything's coming up,

Beginning Blooms Drafted on February 7, 2006

Roses (strike-thru) Tulips, daffodils, crocus, hyacinth and other miscellaneous spring bulbs!

Whoever said “three’s a crowd”…

Three's a Crowd???

never met my garden!

Chicken Poop


That’s my secret to growing a monster zucchini:)

Look what I found in my garden!!!


Stinkin’ beautiful!!!

Rejected


The kids weren’t wild about their new “treat”.

Results


In my line of work (motherhood), much of what I do gets undone. Except for a few pesky slugs, I have found an outlet that gives results – my garden. The radishes were eaten by rollie-pollies, the carrots may not grow to full size, BUT I have healthy, beautiful zucchinis, cucumbers, green beans, and possibly 2 kinds of tomatoes and savory rosemary! I’m still waiting to see what happens with my bell peppers… Woohoo!
