Crimson Delight





I have a "pet" variegated Geranium that has just given me a stunning Crimson Cluster of flowers for my kitchen window ledge. A friend gave me the start of this Geranium many years ago and I have a couple other pots of them upstairs for the winter.

I have just worked my buns off today making us a decent dinner tonight of shrimp stir fry. I hauled the Mercedes carpet out and power washed it for the winter so it looks nice. Eating Oxys like they are M&Ms my back hurts so bad. Tomorrow I see Dr at 3 PM who is covering for my Dr who is off doing his military service in Poland !

That is quite a different color for a geranium. It looks to be very happy in your kitchen window.

You are always working too hard, Bret. A shrimp stir fry is a very special dinner. I'm sure you and JD both enjoyed it.

Wasn't pulling the carpet out of the car a difficult task that could put pressure on your surgery incision>?

Good luck with them Dr appt tomorrow.

I have to get up really early to take a friend to a surgery appt tomorrow morning. I'll be doggy sitting and working on his city property while he is in surgery.

I didn't get any sleep yesternight because of the howling wind, which is blowing again tonight, so I will be going to bed early to TRY to get some sleep.

It seems to have taken quite a liking to the window ledge to produce such an eye treat

This carpet is what the car gets parked on so the tires are not resting on cement. Cement causes deterioration of rubber. I washed the bedding and hung it outside to dry.....

My back is aching and I have taken a fair share of Oxys today so I am heading to bed very soon too.

Such a beautiful crimson geranium, a delight for sure. All mine are still blooming away in the back and front garden. They are such an easy flower to grow, need little or no attention. I plant them in the flower beds and tubs, they give me months and months of beautiful colour.

The Geranium had to of been designed with me in mind to have them survive and excel with so little attention.

    IN MY VERY HUMBLE OPINION, YOU ARE DOING FAR TOO MUCH AND I BET ANYTHING THAT IS WHAT YOUR DOCTOR IS GOING TO TELL YOU. I KNOW IT IS VERY TOUGHT TO HAVE TO SLOW DOWN, BUT PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY. PRETTY PLEASE?
I find a degree of "rest" in setting down for my blogging & response time... conversing with my friends.... There is also the sharing of the home made treasures of juice and jelly that makes me smile.

Just attempting to stay warm! I just started the fireplace it is only 44 F outside. I have a few things I need to get done before winter hits.
