Garden Surprise: Perky Fleurs

Posted May 14, 2010 by Maire in Hobbies, Whimsy / 0 Comments

Three tulips blooming in our garden

I found a real surprise this morning when I stumbled on down the stairs to make a cup of tea. What did I find waving at me through the garden windows?  Bright, cheery, unashamedly perky flowers!

The gentlemen who previously owned our house left a few pleasant surprises in the garden for springtime! Now I just need to find time to get up before the bees to pull some weeds and do some pruning of the old stuff!

Our garden's lone Daffydill :)

We have pink and yellow tulips, and when I went to take a picture from a better angle, I spotted this lonely little girl standing off in a corner by one of the garden lights…

Absolutely gorgeous.  This really made my morning. I woke up with my back (figuratively) screaming at me and all sorts of other unpleasant girly things that I won’t go into.  My back has been giving me problems for a couple of months now, and only just finally got around to making a visit to the chiropractor’s office.

A Trip to see the Spine Guys

Since it’s been years since I last visited, they did a full assessment. I’ll find out the results today.  Dr. J gave me a pretty good idea of what’s going on. Hemade some pretty telling comments about my hip being so out of alignment that my left leg is slightly twisted. Consequently it’s shorter than the other by about an inch or two.  Yeah, that will cause some problems.

Robinsock goes to the chiropractor

So while I was waiting for all this to happen, I whipped out the Robinsock and did a few rows.  Apparently they see quite a few knitters, and have to tell them to stop hunching over their work.  I guess I shouldn’t be telling them that I’ve been spinning too… 😉

Yes, that’s their website address.  If you need a chiropractor, I highly recommend them.


Worst Park Job Evar

Finally…since it’s the weekend, I leave you with the following example of “Ur Doing It Wrong”.

Ur doing it wrong

I was getting ready to leave work the other day, when I noticed that the silver car ahead of me was parked rather oddly over the lines.  Notice that there is plenty of space to park on either side of it.  Little black car comes whipping into the lot, pulls up *proportionately* next to the silver car, and this girl gets out and hurries into the building (license plates have been deliberately blurred to protect privacy).  You notice that she didn’t even stop to consider that maybe…just maybe….she was doing it wrong?

Maybe it’s just my sense of symmetry that’s affronted, but c’mon…

Happy weekend!
