Either that or the journalist knew EXACTLY what they were writing and has a dark sense of humor...

Yup, luckily I had some on hand so I didn't have to make a quick run to the store. So far two of the cuttings are looking pretty decent, but it's only been a few days.

I procured for myself some wild muscadine vine cuttings, hoping they'll take root for me!

Well I was bamboozled, what I thought were wild grapes of some variety are actually porcelainberry :(. Very disappointed. They're all entangled in my red mulberries so it's going to be fun getting rid of them without hurting the trees.

Didn't do anything for my 'garden' today. Just cleaned out my gutters and disrupted an ant nest in the process (it's...been a while since i last cleaned the gutters...). Fun. Checked on the fruit trees, I'm a bit worried about the peaches. There's two left, the rest were duds, but one has one...

And orchestra kids are too nerdy to be overly loud and social during long trips :p usually.

Most of my gaming is Pokemon Go these days. Easy enough to doodle around on during my lunch hour. Also it forces me to do a daily walk for my own darn health.

Currently I'm working on latch hook 'tapestry' number 2. Finally finished the first one (an Archaeopteryx skeleton) earlier this year, and now I'm starting on a copper betta. It's 60" wide and not quite that tall. Help.

Wow I haven't been to the BYC forums in a while... I had to put my 19-year-old cornsnake Noodle to sleep back in August. He had a presumed kidney tumor that was big enough to put pressure on his GI tract and not allow passage of anything. Later in the month I got two baby corns (because it'll...

@fuzzi Aw, at least you were able to save some though. Neither the purple heart nor the small rose were particularly meaningful to me. The irises that are all around them are, as they came from my grandma, but thankfully they were all dormant when the siding was done and they bloomed again...

2 cats, a cockatiel, 50-gallon fishtank, 10-gallon fishtank, two 5-gallon fishtanks, a corn snake, and a greenish rat snake.

@Sueby Oh that looks interesting, what's it called?

Finally have some peaches on my tree! And apples, which came as a surprise! One (the sheepnose) has definite baby apples on it, the second (Dry Creek pippin) has some likely apples starting, the third (early transparent) was hit really hard with cedar apple rust last year and is still recovering...

Currently chicken-less thanks to the 'neighbor' who decided 5+ years of me having chickens was suddenly offensive and sicced the HOA on me. HOA later made the mistake of letting slip someone on the board is specifically targeting me, so we're kinda at a Mexican standoff right now. Past couple...

Yeah we've had a good steady rain all day, some decent gusts of wind now and then, but so far nothing worse than a typical storm. I must have lost power for a bit at home while I was at work but it couldn't have been for long.

Last time we had a hurricane come through the Charlotte area, I still had my coop v 1.0, aka the converted baby crib on wheels, which would have been light enough to get knocked over or torn up pretty good. I lashed it down with a tarp over top and hoped for the best. Unfortunately, the tarp...

There are no HOA regulations regarding yard art, only business signs on properties. There's also regulations regarding having non-functioning automobiles on your property which is definitely violated by someone at the neighborhood entrance, but you know. God forbid there be chickens. And...

Nah the third choice is to fill my yard with obnoxious chicken-themed yard art and make them wish they'd just let me keep the actual chickens instead :p. Quail are cute but I'm not interested in keeping them, plus with my random allergy to duck eggs I'd want to make sure I could even eat quail...

Hey, another Charlotte-area person! *high-five!*

I would guess they're very similar to condo boards. Like, I understand having a common fund for things like sign and light repairs and whatever, and rules for common areas like 'please don't park giant RVs in the road' because that's just simple courtesy and safety. Not being allowed to have a...
