Mom goes nuts

Mom went crazy yesterday. She got up real early and went out and bought dirt. REALLY! She bought it in great big bags, like this one:

She bought FOUR of them. She says there are bigger bags, but she can't carry them. Anyway, after she bought all this dirt, she went to the hardware store (the big orange place that has so much stuff in it that it makes her crazy) and she bought food. Yeah, you heard me, she bought FOOD at a hardware store. Go figure. It wasn't Beef or anything really good, it was yukky rabbit food. Of course I am sure Fiona doesn't think it's yukky. (Sorry, Fiona)

So she gets all this dirt and food home and what does she do? She puts the FOOD in the DIRT! Now I know she's been all stressed about Gizzy lately, and I know we've all been sad, but I really am beginning to wonder if the poor woman has lost her mind.

Here's what it all looked like after she was finished:

In these pots are Oregano, Thyme (time?), Sage, Lavender and Pineapple Mint (hey, don't ask me, I don't get it either). In the back there are Chives, but they are from last year.

Here are two pots of flat leaf Parsley and some Cilantro.
Here's some Rosemary...


and this is lettuce,
and this is spinach, YECH!

Mom put the cat grass in a pot of dirt, too, but I don't think it liked it.

I was promised 'Nip. I'm not seein' any 'Nip. I'm going to have to do something about that.

Beans are weird, MomBean took the KidBeans out to play in the yard yesterday. When KidBean had to use the litter box MomBean actually told him to go inside-all that grass and bushes and she makes him go inside. Weird.

Mama laughed when she readed that your lady boughted dirt acause Mama used to SELL dirt. She used to work at the white house.... no wait, at the yellow house.... that's not right either... redhouse???

OH!!! Greenhouse, yeah that's what color the house was. She used to plant baby plants and seeds and feed them and sell dirt to peoples. I guess they must notta had no dirts in their yards. I wonder if Mama will buy dirt for the luck-shree condo partment acause I don't fink they has no dirt there either, dust a big hole wiff water innit that you swims in, but no dirt...

Mama likes yer erbs she says she'll plant us some too and some nip and catgrass and cat erbs n stuff.

All that green stuff looks so good. Oh wait, is THAT why they call it a greenhouse??
