Planning my summer projects

Maybe I'll create a bottle garden like this once summer rolls around. For now, it's essay grading (and, apparently, emotional breakdowns) between now and June 11th.

If I were writing a novel I'd create a character who keeps a bottle garden to memorialize his toughest bar fights. Of course the bottles would be the same ones he smashed on the bar and wildly pointed at the offending patron before they really threw down. And of course the flower planted in the bottle would have to represent his opponent in some way. He'd be a very sensitive guy deep down inside.

Genius, Michael...pure genius ;)

Oh no, not another plant...

Oh, stop, Kimberly. Just because I sprayed my terrariums with my homemade cleaner doesn't mean I can't handle a bottle garden ;) Think of all the other plants that have thrived under my care. I'm practically a horticulturist. Or something.

I've never seen bottle gardens before. Looks like fun.

Did you mean to spray your terrariums with cleaner? Sounds like a funny Sherry story. :)

The water I was using to spray the terrariums and my multipurpose cleaner are in similar bottles. It wasn't intentional, and, apparently, moss and succulents aren't big fans of vinegar, peroxide, and tea tree oil. Who knew? ;)

Everyone was mocking my terrariums to start with (which I think were pretty bad ass, by the way), so me killing them in a "Sherry moment" only gives them more kindle for the fire. Ha.

Sherry, It wasn't the terrariams themselves that I thought were cheesey, it was the little plastic animals that lived in them that put them over the edge of normalcy. ; ) ~B

Oh, I never claimed to be normal, and that little plastic deer made me smile every time I saw him. Don't underestimate the power of a plastic woodland creature :)

Stephanie said...

That definitely is a funny Sherry story, plastic deer and all. :) Thanks for sharing.

LOL...the deer made me smile every time I saw it too. ;)
