garden update

as previously stated, my plants are doing swimmingly. 
this is my "lucky lavender bush".  joe and claudia told me that to plant a lavendar bush is lucky so to home depot i went in search of a bush.  they were all pretty sickly but i bought one anyway, willing to resort to any sort of foolishness to press my advantage for some special luck.  thankfully, it seems to have remained alive and even looks better than it did when i bought it, so that's good.  i was a bit worried about the cosmic implications associated with kiling a lucky lavender bush.  apparently the neighborhood cats wanted in on the luck also, as one left me a bit of a present.  is cat poop lucky?  we'll say yes, just so that i dont have to pick it up.
i've been god about pruning my rose bushes, i have 3 yellow ones.  this one is the happiest of all of them, a couple days ago i counted 14 blossoming buds.  it's just so beautiful!  i'm very happy with how well it's doing.
this picture doesnt do justice to the butterfly bushes but they are getting pretty free range.  i wish the others were growing as quickly, but overall i sure can't complain.
Beans was welcoming me home.  she says hi.
