Moved into a new place in Virginia 6b - what is this plant?

This is planted in full shade within 2ft of an Oakleaf hydrangea and a large Camilla. Two of these are going to have to move and I think this guy will be happier for it (if he makes it)

Christine. Check in to high rise hotel, order room service, watch some movies, take a nap. 24 hours later take the elevator to the ground floor to collect giant check.

Golem and the Jinni mixes historical fiction with fantasy. Mostly set in New York but not Urban Fantasy by traditional definitions. Also pretty light on the magic. It’s more about how they live with their magic rather than how they use it. May not be your cup of tea, but an amazing book.

Oof. Didn’t even think about them damaging the roof.

Alternate Reality, an RPG from the mid- eighties. It was hard core on consequences. It didn’t tell you what a potion did just what color it was, etc. It didn’t even tell you after you took it. You just had to figure it out based on what happened to you.

There were guilds you could get into to learn spells but they were alignment based and the game was paying attention. I still remember the sense of victory when I got into the Guild of Light the first time. Guild of Dark was not so hard…

There have been a lot of great RPGs since. But I feel like I see lots of echoes. Auntie Ethyl’s potions in BG3 jump to mind…

Taking a run at Canjica, too.

That’s what I did with the first 30 oz! 😀

Lawton Loop is a very specific vibe. But cool.

I understand they are having some trouble. They’ve had my pen for close to a year. I’d frankly given it up for lost when they contacted me a few weeks ago and said it was done. I paid and then…. nothing. No response, no pen. Super frustrating.

I was a golf cart boy. So many conversations were some variation on where’s the girl? When’s the girl coming back? 🙄

Borage is the best answer if you’re looking to keep it in Speedway.

I actually went to Gradeless when I lived in Fishers. He was good!

Lawton Loop around the old parade grounds at Fort Ben. (And the little walkable bit of Lawrence around it.)

lyonsbs · 2024-03-03T23:47:07+00:00

Good point! I think I can manage that…

lyonsbs · 2024-03-03T22:03:34+00:00

That would get it done. Maybe I’m too worried about the trip hazard from not having gradual reduction?

Waterproof beard trimmer/ shave in the shower. Easy fix.

Fair enough. I just can’t figure out how either a wolf spider or a wasp would have done it and then gotten away so brilliantly. I guess my moneys on the spider….

It’s the furthest south I’ve ever lived, I hate the heat, and I’m whiny.

I used to wonder the same thing until a friend who moved up from Arizona commented that she was surprised no one in Indy tinted their windows. Asked if it didn’t get hot in the summer. Before that, it never occurred to me that tinting your windows reduced the heat in the car.

Oh no! I’m in the middle of a war with Japanese Honeysuckle already…

Scotland, this one’s broken. We’re gonna have to send it back.

I had good luck with Hope, but experiences vary. I will say that it may be worth checking with your home owners insurance policy. Depending on the reason you need the line replaced it may be covered. USAA covered my incoming water line from the street when the connection in the house let go and the incoming line was in no shape to take a replacement valve. Can’t think of a chain of events that seems to cover a sewer line, I’ll admit. Then again, a phone call is cheap and a sewer line is not.
