Wednesday, April 9th, 2008No not this kind.
St. Louis hotel 2005.
This Kind:
We’ve been successful attracting the hummingbirds and butterflies the last couple of years. Even with the hunters next door! According to the calender, the hummingbird scouts should be coming in the next week or so. So, why do I feel pressure?
Funeral Directors, depending on where you are…if you […]
State of the Garden Address
Saturday, April 5th, 2008Green and frosty this morn. We’re moving outdoors, but wanted to send a shout out to the Colgate Palmolive Company, distributors of the fine product Irish Spring.
If you’ve followed this blog, you’ll know that last summer, we conducted an experiment with Irish Spring as a non-toxic cat repellent as a deterrent to the five kitties […]
Dawgz in the Hood
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008It’s true. When I meet with the A-team and we stroll the grounds of the garden, I like to take pix of the neighbor’s pets. Even the pesky cats next door.
Here’s a few of my furry friends.
Shad resides at corporate headquarters and is a member of our advisory team.This was my first test […]
Atomic Number 27
Friday, March 7th, 2008For centuries Cobalt compounds have been used to create a rich blue color to glass, glazes, and ceramics. Cobalt has been detected in Egyptian sculpture and Persian jewelry from the third millennium BC, in the ruins of Pompeii, and in China dating from the Tang and Ming dynasties.
Pure cobalt is not found in nature, but […]
Pixie Party
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007Don’t know if I’ll have the pixies back next year, they caused quite a ruckus on Christmas Eve while we were out.
After an evening of cheese balls and nut clusters we arrived back to the garden to discover a thumping electronica beat and a pixie party in full swing.
That evil cat was annoying, and had […]
Sweet Pixie Love
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007I need to go out into the WORLD today, however, the hustle and bustle factor is high and I’d rather stay home and play with my pixies.
Lileks has his scary Jingle Pixie. Well, we are involved in Pixie Rescue and picked these two up on the street. This is our first Christmas together. The gold […]
Warm and Fuzzy Pet Ramblings
Friday, December 14th, 2007When we dug the garden, we did a lot of research but somehow completely did not plan for the pet aspect of the business. Well, we’ve encountered several passionate pet owners the last few years.
Here’s what we’ve learned:
We’re crazy for our pets, but never thought we’d be one of those people that turn […]
Goddess of Cats and Fire, Bastet is Back!
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007One of the experiments we conducted in the garden this year was the launch of our Egyptian Collection. We try not to be slaves to our own tastes, but admittedly we’re crazy for all things Egyptian (except for cobras and poison asps) and it seemed like a good fit.
The Bastet and Anubis canopic jar […]
Sunday Stroll
Monday, October 15th, 2007Good Monday!
Lighter Garden Fare:
Just wanted to introduce some of my research assistants on the great Irish Spring experiment. Note to self: Check into Irish Spring pay-for-post opps.
These are some tough cats. They share space with three Rotties. Good hunters. This is four of the five, missed the little black and white. […]
The Great Social Media Experiment Pt. 2
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Relevancy anyone?
While we started the blog as an outreach for our clients, it has evolved into both a personal expression as well as an unexplained mystery.
It’s sexy time in the garden. Not only is the UAE landing here, but also visitors from Iran, Pakistan, and Morocco trolling for sexy Dubai. Sorry, wrong number.
I’m still getting […]
