Daily Notes- Not Sunny Sunday


 A Fully Vaccinated Visit to the garden center where I used to work (with mask).  I brought home a French Lavender plant and these three Lantana for a pot by the front porch.  They have three bright colors in their flowers- pink, orange and yellow.  Last year they were in short supply and I had to make do with the pale yellow variety.  I potted the lavender into a tall clay pot.  It has successfully overnighted.  

Since my hands were dirty- I also transplanted the Avocado Pit into larger quarters.  But the pit did not have as many roots as I thought- so the larger pot wasn't stable enough for the leggy "tree".  So now it has a support stick holding it upright and straight.  The bottom and the top match.

I watched the new Hallmark movie of the NewYork "trending" chef inheriting her aunt's Australian shack restaurant.  And the guy who cooks there, named Cook.   Well, I had high hopes for this one but all the two of them did was stare at each other like they were star struck.  And the single kiss at the very end....awkward. If you are going to fly all the way from Australia to New York City for a girl-- wouldn't you want to REALLY kiss her???  No.  Not in these Canadian (Puritan) productions. Not in any of them. Seriously weird. Even when the actors have excellent chemistry.  Always really awkward. Cringe worthy.

In the Irish movie- with the crumbling castle- the male actor was from Downton fame on PBS.  He actually KISSED the girl.  And he was Drinking Irish Whiskey.

So, I will have to find my romance in books and not Hallmark movies.  It's a dark and dismal day here in Maine.  Yesterday was sunny.  I need to start turning on the lamps.  At noon. I will return to reading Longbourne. 

 I wrote a long paragraph but it might not be what people come here to read- so it's been deleted. Some Vanity Fair articles.  Political stuff.

Two of my favorite nursery indulgences. My lavender overwintered nicely on the main deck with zero protection so I bought another to keep it company. Lantana is another story. It's been a few years since I could find something colorful to replace the one that didn't survive the mailbox garden. Thanks for the reminder.
