Well, yesterday was my Bridal shower and I had a great time. My Maid of Honour arranged the whole party from Australia and attended by Skype. We had lots of food and several games (which I thought I would hate but they were actually really fun - plus it meant I got to win more goodies hehehe). |

Did a cut and paste of "Pliver Hazard Perry" to learn more, and found he was Oliver Hazard Perry--lol. Interesting fellow, commodore, and principled. |

Dragon is wondering if Baldur grows many herbs at Boughbreak? I'm hoping to have a little herb garden grown in pots on my deck (which will be right off the kitchen) and I wonder if he has any tips for keeping them healthy and strong. I already have one chive plant that is doing spectacularly, in fact I think I would have a hard time killing it. It has been neglected, snowed on, hailed on and it just keeps on thriving. I'm hoping the other herbs I try to grow are as hardy as in the past I have been a bad plant mommy. |

Dragon, I've been trying to kill a clump of chives growing out of a crack in a concrete path. Plants encroaching on paths is usually very attractive but this clump is right in the middle of a narrow path and is very resilient. 'Haven't resorted to weedkiller yet but may have to. |

In general herbs shun fertile, tilled soil. |

I'm definitly planning on some dill as well. I don't use it very much but I absolutly love the smell of it. Plus when I do have a recipe that calls for it it's just so much nicer to be able to use fresh. |

Oh, and I also grow garlic chives, which have become quite prolific. They are running rampant in the asparagus bed. |

Baldur went on a beading bonanza over the last two evenings and added 6 new strands to the windows here. |

I find the really rich purple beads are harder to find than most other colours. I also find that they are the most popular. I can't remember if I said before that alongside my cattoys I'm also making beaded barefoot sandals and selling them at the farmer's market. The purple always sell first. |

Garlic chives are not technically garlic, thus planting garlic cloves will not result in them. Nor will you get garlic bulbs from garlic chives. |

Baldur truly meant to stop at the craft store and purchase a quantity of purple beads this afternoon. Unfortunately after dropping by to check on Mother's readiness to weather hurricane Irene, all such thoughts evaporated. |

There was a brief side trip to a small market that Baldur refers to as GhettoMart. It is a no-frills very cheap grocery store that has many items with labels in languages other than English. |
