The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

I ran through a number of Sunday themed songs when trying to come up with the title for this post.

“Sunday Bloody Sunday” by U2? Little too violent and political for today’s mood

“Lazing On A Sunday afternoon” by Queen? Fantastic song, their best album, but nope.

“Sunday Morning” by No Doubt? Eh, not mellow enough for me.

Lyrically, not perfect, but with the title and overall vibe, The Commodore’s, 1977 number one hit, “Easy” (like Sunday Morning) wins. Wanna join the laid back party vibe? Click here and play the song while you read this.

We all awoke at 7:00 AM to the sight of six hot air balloons floating directly over the house. No matter how many times we see them, we all get really fired up when we hear the sound of the flames keeping the balloons afloat.

Pot of coffee on, big ass mug in hand, sauntered outside to enjoy the new and improved stone driveway

Digging the berries starting to appear on the Hypericum ‘Albury Purple’

Ilex meservae ‘Blue Princess’ has successfully been impregnated by a nearby ‘Blue Prince’ as we are also on to a second set of flowering. 

Some newly received plants were put in the ground, here we have Persicaria ‘Red Dragon’ 

A few Cornus ‘Arctic Fire’ (Redtwig Dogwood) were planted (small yet affordable)

The Eupatorium ‘Chocolate’ are blooming

Strolled through the back of the yard near the woods to enjoy the weeds … I mean wildflowers.

And with the wife’s flower arranging abilities, turned them into a bouquet

And finally, my son and I played a vicious and competitive game of two hand touch and the little guy beat me (he was the Giants of course). When do I stop letting him win?

Enjoy your “Manic Monday”.

    Ahhh…the joys of the Autumn garden. I don’t care if they are weeds or wildflowers, they are gorgeous! I hope you like the Persicaria, I have one in my garden and it has grown by leaps and bounds, such a beautiful plant!

    In a post about hot air balloons, I’m glad you didn’t go with “Sunday Bloody Sunday!” I think they’re very cool as long as someone else is riding in them. I’m afraid of heights!
