the one-day blossoms blossomed...

We have a tiger lilly plant as part of the landscaping around our mailbox, and this weekend was when the thing finally bloomed. Its doing quite healthy (about 12 buds total, usually going 2 or three a day) which makes me glad that it survived the extensive deweeding and landscaping Cyd did last month.

( behind the cut 'cause its moderately big, 640x480 )

can I just say right now...

...that I simply do NOT get the "gotta have a gmail invite to be in the cool kids club" fad right now?

Its an f'in' email system, with advertising, that won't in any way reduce the amount of spam one gets any more than any other new (or old), free (or pay) email service.

that's it.

and as i said, it's got f'in' advertising in it. ick. i don't need it. i do'nt want it.

and i don't get it.

sheesh.
