You're a peach, Rayaan.

Good thing I don't have insomnia in the first place. Big Grin

Who says atheists have no love?

What was waiting for me at my desk from a couple I've made friends with recently in the CAA. "We usually send each other flowers today (or have them at home) but we decided the Girl With the Roses Tattoo really shouldn't go without."

My lovers might be worthless, but my friends rock balls.

threesome waiting to happen, this is step 1.

Perv. If you lived here, I wouldn't need friends to woo me.

But I do not, and I shall not. Hicks are far too much for this dandy. Move to Boston, D.C or NYC, then you're talking Wink

Even my foreigner boys are telling me to move back to DC. Wtf *IS* this shit.

My daughter, Ali, stops to smell the buttercup:

And I was hoping thesummerqueen could tell me why these things are growing randomly/sporadically throughout my very unkempt back yard?

I don't mind them, I'm just curious.

Because they are daffodils - narcissus. They grow from bulbs, which divide portions of themselves out to create new ones, so they will grow in clumps - not ramble in a more "organized" fashion like a ground cover plant might.

Gardeners who are serious about them mark their position with stakes in the spring so that when the foliage is spent and "moving" time comes in the fall, they know where they are and can put them into more orderly placement.

Also, squirrels dig them up like idiots, realize they're not a yummy treat, and put them back...just not necessarily in the same hole.

They're sometimes thought of as a grave flower, but I think they're too pretty for burials.

Their name comes because of their nodding form, from the Greek myth of Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection in a pool and wasted away staring at it.
