Ours are so beautiful, so bold, so bright. They put any varsity sweater to shame.

It was time to get out and prune roses (and feed them) today. I swore yesterday if it was cloudy this morning I'd do it, and it was cloudy.... nice cool day here. Pulled up a bunch of blackberries too 
Filled up a trash can already.
My brother made an observation yesterday that hydrangeas grow REALLY well here, and they do too. I have one right in front of the huge front window and I have to hack it unmercifully each winter to see out!!! Brother can't get them to grow in Portland for some reason. Go figure.
Then I cleaned out the refer and made chicken gumbo sorta. Almost time for lunch! Feeling pretty good right now.

Your talents and diligence impress me. I've never known the joys of yard work, and I may never. How many acres do you manage? It sounds like a big and lovely place.
By contrast, I went to the store for the boss yesterday, plunged the toilet (because the person who keeps throwing paper towels in there says it is OK even if I have to plunge three times a week and call a plumber every other month), repaired a stool, and changed a lightbulb. How many Pollacks did it take? Three: One to change it, one to bark its head off, and a third to restrain the second. Except for cooking, I sat here.

Uhm........... research on line, there are paper towels which dissolve better in the plumbing.
Answer: bleach if poured in the toilet and left to sit will dissolve the fibers in the paper towel, it may all go on it's way.
We live on a quarter acre here (I say we meaning my dog, me and some ghosts) because we have a septic.... sewer doesn't run out here. I have to be VERY nice to my septic. I let long periods go in between toilet scrubs, but I'm tidy anyway so not a problem. Bleach is really bad for septics. Mom used to really dig using bleach... she was a maniac about it. I have the feeling several trees are putting their roots into the drain field. Maybe I can move out before it becomes a problem.
You might put a pretty trash barrel near the toilet and gently suggest he toss paper towels in there. Might get those wet wipes at Costco, they're pretty small and inoffensive.

The chain of command does not go that way. I obey with one face, and gripe to my friends with the other. What a fiend. This, too, must be addressed.

I understand. Did it myself for a couple of years. Bleach is cheap.

Until it wrecks all your clothing.
I saw a silver spider today. I got up really close to see if it was an optical illusion, but it wasn't. I saw a golden mushroom in the woods the other day, too. I thought that was the name of a Chinese restaurant.
Oh, eek. I'm listening to this nice choral music with a trumpeter doing anything but harmonizing. Whaddup widdat?

Dissonance............... atchooy!
Was it silver or white? I've seen lots of white spiders. Swept a bunch out of the porch yesterday, the varmints insist on living in there.
All sorts of mushrooms grow in forests... it's a huge field of study, popular up here. Silver mushrooms that turn blue when you break the stems are allegedly the magical types. Myself, I don't eat anything I'm not 100% positive w/ the ID. I enjoy eating nettles, we grow lots of them around here (cook up like spinach), and blackberries are almost ready too.

It was silver, not like fine etching or anything, like it had been spray-painted. It had thin legs, like it had just shedded. Then, it had a silver ball for its abdomen. Underneath it was a striped grayish thing.
The shroom was somewhat of an illusion, being hairy ochre, but golden for the sake of conversation and appearances from a distance.

Golden mushrooms and silver spiders
http://www.mariowiki.com/Golden_Mushroom
sounds like a good combo for a video game... or a sci fi plot
Maybe the poor spider had just escaped being cooked by a mad man with a spray can of paint (silver) and a lighter. Seriously... some nut just torched his house here recently in Seattle that way. Used to see sailors do it occasionally.

I saw my first daffodil of the season, a miniature. He had friends on the way ready to bloom. Then, I came across some swatches of crocuses. It must have been an especially warm and sunny street.

We've had all the above for a week or two. In fact I have robins too.

Yay! I did not know. Then, I did not know you had palm trees there, too.

Not MANY palms... but some.

We have zero outdoor, year-round palms, and the ones in South Carolina and Florida are looking kind of scruffy anymore, at least the Trachycarpus fortunei. The foxtail palms were doing quite well. (I had to look up their names. I'm not that smart.)
Right now, our conditions outside are dark.

Yes. Amazing. I recall walking around outside when the Moodies were in St. Augustine. I noticed palm trees came as blades emanating from a point, a stalk with blades emanating from a point, a stalk with stalks with blades emanating from a point (palmettos), a stalk with blades emanating from substalks, etc. I had no clue you'd be interested.
As for here, autumn turns to winter, and winter turns to spring ...
