Lollyphile

Stumbled across this while browsing another interesting link, figured I'd save it and share it.

Caffeinated Maple Bacon Lollipops don't sound awesome to me, but Absinthe?  Bourbon?  Pomegranate Tangerine?  Hmmmm.

What I can't get over is ten bucks for a single lollipop, but it still sounds intriguing enough.

Writing again...

Trying to write some more now - will be back to chronicling in the writing blog, though I do think I may take a different direction with that slightly. Want to create an outlet for me to talk about writing, along with a small journal about what I am doing. I figure that I will merge those parts in and most likely link them in here at some point (perhaps on the next go-round of site cleanup).

Rosebush sprouting

Rosebush started sprouting leaves last Sunday (may have been earlier - couldn't tell for the snow).  We are supposed to get some snow again next week, so we shall see.

Everything is dead

Well, that's how it feels.  With cold temperatures in the teens this week and wind chills of zero, this is not a week where I would think about gardening all that much, but there is some much needed cleanup work to be done.  So here are some things I completed in the past week:

Pruned rosebush
Cleaned up dead elephant ear, canna, hibiscus, and persicaria foliage
Trimmed some tree branches from dormant trees
removed dead plants from pots

Some things I need to do:
add mulch
trim some more branches
kill weeds in dormant bermuda lawn
clean up other dead plants and beds
Plan some garden additions or landscaping changes
