What's Blooming at work!

So the final installment of what's blooming at work, for this season. Next week is my last week of the season, I need to get busy figuring out what I am going to do for the next five months.


Well it's that time of year so mums are blooming at work!
Of course we also have pumpkins! Can't wait to pick out one. I don't know what I am going to carve this year, but it will be fun!

finally what's blooming at work

Good Morning!

I finally got my stuff together and got a few pictures of my favorite blooming plants. This is what is blooming at work right now!
Astrantia major 'Venice'


Coreopsis 'dream catcher'


White Stokesia (Stoke's Aster)


None of the mums or asters have started to bloom, but the buds on the early ones are looking pretty big! I will definitely be getting pictures of those. The ornamental kale is huge this year, at least as big as my head! No I don't have a large head, I think mine is proportional to my body.
Also I wanted to document Tyrell at work,
He is the male of the three barn cats at work. I can't say he is a complete Maine Coon cat, because he seems slightly small. He won't let anyone brush his fur, so when it matted up, he had to get a fur cut. He won't show his face on camera. His tail is still really fluffy too.

Have a great day!

Work day

So after all that talk of chai ice cream yesterday, I churned it this morning. YUP! 5 am, I was churning ice cream. It finished pretty quickly since it had been in the fridge over night.I tried some this morning, and it is so yummy! this is the recipe I used.Sadly my tooth screamed, with the cold. I think it is time I buckle down, and find a dentist to take care of this (cavity?), even if the idea of bill scares me.

It is a work day. A truck came in yesterday, I got to miss unloading that one (shucks). Although, I will probably be putting a lot of it away today. Lots of trees and shrubs, and I very excited to see the fruit trees. I wish I had enough land, and was closer to the coast (warmer winters), so then I could grow the cherries, and peaches. I could grow the plums, pears, and apples but,  I live near several apple orchards, I am happy to visit and support the local orchards. Honestly I would love to be in a much warmer zone to grow lemons, and have an olive tree. Daydream!
There should be a lot in bloom, and I will try to get some pictures. It is a great way to work on my picture taking skills.

Keep hydrated and enjoy the day!
