Rainy under the tree
 

-brings a full stand of umbrellas and lays them all about- there!

Gahahah, I love umbrellas. -opens and closes many umbrellas before putting them back into the stand-

whaaat? ;x; why would you put them in the stand? i was going to use that to keep owl feathers in!

...owl feathers in...an umbrella stand? Why o_o'?
-Takes umbrellas out-
-opens each umbrella-
-makes a dome with umbrellas-

because i do not have a hatbox, duh -starts collecting feathers including ones still on the bird-

Ehhh! Wait for the feathers to fall off first!
-throws blankets over the owl in a sudden fit of misguided inspiration-

XD


so how are you doing?

Gehehe, I was falling asleep xP

Good morning~! I'm always happy in the morning :D!

-attempts to show off the gray skies outside my window xD-

looks more red than gray XD

Heh, the view outside the window is mostly red from the building across, but the sky's still gray :P
I went swinging today! But stopped because a toddler/kid looked like he wanted to get on.

It sure has been raining a lot lately. Phew, ready for some sunshine myself.

Hey everybody <3 I have been planting various plants all day and I am pooped! It's also going to resume raining any minute and I don't want to plant in the rain ;~;

i have to water the plants today XD and probs those strawberries too

ah, well poo on that kid

Ahaha, I feel obligated to let kids swing because I'm older x'D.

Waah! Glitch and Chocobo both have gardens?
What plants does Glitch have? And what plants does Chocobo have?
Do you eat out of your garden?

On the bright side of things, Glitch doesn't have to water the plants x3!

it is both a veg garden and a floral one all over the place XD i can take pictures tommorrow if you want? we have to plant all our sprouts and stuff next week, they are large enough and the garden plot is already growing over XD it has to be reset

Yes yes yes! I'd like pictures very much please! An overflowing garden sounds really exciting :D!
>>

><'
I've never seen a garden with veggies before.

hardly overflowing XD we only started like 3 weeks ago, hahaha everything is till tiny and tender

Ehh? I thought it was bright and big already :x. But regardless, a garden! I want to see! -Waits in anticipation for the new day-

bright enough? the strawbwerries are starting to come in and the daffodils are dying down XD

aaand i forgot to get a picture of the strawberries XD i mean there are a couple in the greenhouse but i mean planted

Wow! So many pots! I've never seen so many pots in one place before! The strawberries are in a greenhouse? Chocobo has a greenhouse! As in a glass structure? Also is that a net I see around the plants? Why does the "__tro (?), Parsley, Dill" pot's soil look cakey?

*stops by to say hi and admires chocobo's plants*

Hi Zen! -runs around Zen's kittens-
I wonder just how many different plants Chocobo has?

Hi Potironette. :D

I bet chocobo has a lot. I'd love to have a gardening area like that.

Me too! I live in an apartment though. Actually, on second thought, I'm a little wary of planting things because I'm worried that everything will die ><'.

-looks furtively at post time- I went clothes shopping around that time ^^'

hahaha, a few XD

the alaska peas got planted and i do not have a picture of the strawberries and everything is a lot taller now but the overall amount of outside plants is close to the same XD

we did get a lemon tree XD

*walks in completely soaked*
What a quaint and snuggly little abode. got hot chocolate?
How is your morning/day?

Just saw the walls of your greenhouse, chocobo. It's got to be wonderful to have one of those. You could have flowers and fresh vegetables all year round.

*waves hi to SparX*

@Chocobo I'm not found of peas myself. Care to share how you eat them :3? Lemon tree! One that's bearing fruit now or is it still a sapling? Also, you wouldn't happen to eat lemons as lemons..would you (sour >_<!)?

@SparX Hi SparX! *quickly gives SparX lots of towels* Here, here, I hope you didn't catch a cold! *Boils milk and makes hot chocolate* Here you go! I've not had a particularly exciting day, but tomorrow I'm getting an electronic baby to take care of, so that's going to be pretty...interesting.

@ZenKitty (Should I call you "Zen" or "Zenkitty"?) >.>... <.< ... I didn't realize that was a greenhouse until you mentioned it x'D. Fresh veggies all year sounds pretty wonderful. I think I hardly ever eat fresh vegetables from this townhouse. The last time I ate fresh veggies was...I don't even remember :x.

@Potironette
You can call me ZenKitty, Zen or ZK. I've gone by all of them. ;-)

Wish I had a place to grow veggies. Our deck is small and I haven't figured out a way grow greens in a pot. Of course with that I'd have to have someone take care of the boys and the veggies when we were gone on the weekends or summer vacations, so perhaps it's just as well. :P

*waves hellos to everyone*
I had a greenhouse, but 75+mph winds destroyed it during the winter storms .-.
The reviews did say it withstood strong gusts.....
>.> I guess not.

Potironette- I never had to do that. I got kicked out of my child development class because the teacher was scared I was to mentally unstable to handle children in the second semester, because she caught me attempting to finish piercing my nose in the bathroom (my friend had gotten halfway through in the morning but couldn't get through)

@Zen: Gone on the weekends? Where does Zen go during the weekends? Who are "the boys"?

@SparX: I think at my school, the teacher isn't allowed to change someone's curriculum just because they think a kid's mentally unstable--and if they could I bet people would raise a protest...I seriously wonder at the teacher's expression while seeing you trying to self-pierce xD.
...75 mph! Are winter storms a common occurrence? (I think strong gusts refer to non-storming conditions xD).

Turns out the electronic baby assignment is actually scheduled next-week Wednesday and not this Wednesday. Yay for not needing to carry the thing on the subway for a day! Sadly, I need to work on my global paper for Friday -cries-

@Potironette
The boys are these guys. :)

We go all over the place on the weekends. Camping/Kayaking trips. Visiting friends up north. Music Festivals. Music camp. Visiting family.
We like to travel for long weekends in the summer. :D

@SparX
That really sounds like something you could appeal. Where is her pyschotherapist license that gives her the right and ability to make that kind of proclaimation? Maybe encouraging you to see a therapist for a couple of sessions to cover their liability, but seriously. Unless she has a degree and psychotherapy license, she shouldn't have the power to do that.

Aww they're so cute ^v^! Their eyes are so sparkly xD.
Zen's weekends sound extremely exciting! By camping, do you mean sleeping in the woods? I've never gone camping before so camping trips seem really mysterious to me.

What I find odd about the situation of a teacher kicking someone out of class is that it seems she'd need to inform some higher authority about wanting to do something like that...and I somehow feel it's odd that a department chair or something would listen to a teacher about kicking someone out of class even. Of course getting someone taken out of class based on mere suspicion is pretty neglectful itself :/.

We often camp in the woods, however we have a small travel trailer so its warm and dry. Sometimes we camp right by the river, which is amazing. No matter where we camp, it's always outdoors and lovely.

When we tent camped, we would fall asleep to all of the sounds of nature, warm in our sleeping bags. If you like being outside, try camping some time. We sit around by the campfire at night talking and sometimes playing music. It's peaceful, wonderful and incredibly relaxing!

Well considering it happened 6 years ago and I'm no longer in school I'm not so sure XD
My school has a tendency to try to "reach for higher standards" then they should if I could say XD

Ah. Water under the bridge as the saying goes, then.

@Zen That sounds really wonderful! I really love how you described camping! It gave off a really warm-almost-magical kind of vibe >v<.

...Iiiin any case, I'll be disappearing for today because I have a bunch of homework/studying to finish for school. Paper on US history, a paper reflecting on the book Chronicle of a Death Foretold which will be graded harshly and too justly, and vocabulary to memorize for French D':

@Potironette
We've stayed in some magical places. Imagine sunlight streaming through the leaves of hardwoods in sparkling threads of light. Or how about the sounds of a symphony of birds when the sun comes up? Or the smell of the dew on ferns? Or the rustle of the wind through the leaves that almost sound like the trees are talking? Just lovely.

Hope your studies go well for you and your teacher loves your paper.

Ahh, the imagery! I somehow wish I could draw/take pictures of those images!

-Oops, I started procrastinating-
Haha, I'm more or less writing the history paper at the last minute and just finished a loose outline. Hopefully it'll be fine :x
