I would have also recommended and panoply of psychotropic substances

*flips notebook open*

Okay, ready...

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Fair enough lol.

I miss having a house with a garden. Sitting in an apartment drinking doesn't have the same feel as sitting on a deck.

a reply to: TerryDon79

If you drink enough you can eventually convince yourself you do have a deck.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

That's a very valid point.

I might have to "experiment" later to see "how many drinks is enough to think I'm sitting on a deck".

Be a dear and make me a saturday morning double shot espresso coffee, don't bring me any of that American dishwater drip nonsense.

a reply to: zazzafrazz

I have a De'Longhi and my imported Italian espresso roast. Weak coffee is for sissies.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

And steam the milk please, cocoa sprinkles accepted on no more than 2 millimeter creamy froth.
Whole coffee 130 degrees, don't burn it, I'm not Greek

a reply to: zazzafrazz

Yes Mistress.

Make sure he leaves the grounds out of the cup, too.

Those are just nasty....

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

While you're at it, make one for me, darling. An ice-mocha, please - I do have a lovely garden to sit in!!

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

Me too! I have some flower photos from yesterday, shall I share?

a reply to: zazzafrazz

Sure! I have some photos to upload, too - of my garden AND my house - but I'm not too great at doing it from my "smart phone." If it's so smart, why can't it do this for me?

I keep saying, "Okay, galaxy - upload my photos" and she keeps saying "I'm sorry, I don't understand the instructions" or some crap like that. Useless.

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

I know what you mean!

HummingBird flying in to hang our with our TNMockingbird at their birdie cocktail bar (I normally make my own nectar but someone gave me this premade one, and figured I use it up, not great I know, but cheap drinks all round )

a reply to: zazzafrazz

Great photos!

THK my snowball hydrangea is perfect for yours and Jacy's Dani to sit under under sipping summer cocktails

a reply to: zazzafrazz

Thank you, they are beautiful!

a reply to: zazzafrazz

Those are lovely!!

My garden was full of the bulbs and forsythias - the irises were lovely, and the daffodils also - tulips mixed in. We had a bunch of major tree-work done last fall, and this spring I get to see how much different the light is -
my columbines are so happy I think they might colonize the whole place!!

Your bleeding heart is beautiful. My mom has a couple - I have to find a good spot for mine - they keep withering away.

a reply to: zazzafrazz

*gasp*

Breathtaking!

staying on topic as well 'I can do a cheap drink!'

a reply to: zazzafrazz

You must be further south than we are.

Holy moley! Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!

(I was delighted to see happy HONEYBEES in my ground ivy and clover this spring - I prefer ground covers instead of "grass" - the less mowing, the better!)

Oh that's beautiful! What a surprise to come in and find the sista's discussing flowers, lol.
Looks like the women-folk are taking over, lol...I'm sure the host won't mind.

Sadly you just reminded me that I have a flowering plant on my balcony that I forgot about (and haven't watered).
(I guess around here, if it doesn't nag me...it gets ignored...)
