Report on the Bizarre Show on June 4-6, 2010

I used the regal trumpet lily in the pot in the back for the display at the Bizarre Show on June 4-6, 2010. We made our name to some people hopefully some in New York since the couple brought Lemongrass, Naked in the Wood, and Jasmine and Jasmine Green Tea and its Powder would make these soap as gifts. We have only one Jasmine and Jasmine Green Tea and Powders left so we brought four more home from the house of my boyfriend's mom back to our home to wrap in our bamboo green on mother of pearl background paper.
I will have the pictures up date later. I have to get to the Off Center Art at Park St which is across from the Robinson Park at the Central Avenue. Their hour is Tuesday to Thursday 1pm to 7pm. Friday is 1pm to 5pm. How odd is that! We pass by and see the building but we never really know what it is or what is going on in there. Perhaps, I will know in a minutes. We have been trying to get to the Farmer market every Saturday of Summer but the director/manager said they already had soap dealer. I guess you have to know WHO in order to get into any business. She just let us in for a few days it would help to get our name around since those who go there mean to buy and use things from the handmade and local. They are the only one who would appreciate our work and willing to spend if it is good enough. Of course, our products are fabulous and one hundred percents homemade with love and care!
We made a few on Friday. Saturday was not a good day which was like a wasting of time. The last day was excellent! The people who brought our stuffs know and love homemade soap and do not mind to buy a few as gift. One lady brought soap as gift for her nice as graduation gift. Its fragrance is divine even far away can still smell it.

Home Garden Up Date

That the Lovely lovable yet evil to her playmate. I, finally, got to see sweet pea flowers which used to die because of hot desert sun and drought. I did not have time to water them so they could not last or live long to bloom. The sweet pea fragrant is very strong and almost like exotic perfume. The lily of the Nile, which I believe that my boyfriend's mom loves, is finally blooming. I was hoping it to bloom during Mother days to give to her but it blooms much later. I think now it is time for it to bloom; in another word, it is the season to bloom.
I just love the hollyhock! If it is peach, it would make a great statement in the neighborhood. Every house--almost, in this neighborhood has it in front of the house, but, of course, it is just single petal; mine is fully double and huge. Everyone has pink so am I therefore, it can hardly be outstanding or different than anyone else. The peach color one died last year. I was not sure why because I watered both of them at the same time.
I do not remember why I was mistake zinnia seeding plants with sunflower. I dig up three 'zinnia' plants home with me. Since zinnia is not much big so I planted them almost next to each other. When they had a few more leaves, I realized that I got sunflower instead! That was good too because I love sunflower also. I hope that the big tall plant wont kill my little rose NOW is under their leaves. My plan was to have big leaves shadow and shade the weak rose but only time can tell.
I finally get to see the color of hydrangea--at least one of them, I ordered three kinds but only two survive the hardship of moving and staying in small pot. It is forever pink I think because it is pink through out and nothing else. I will try the nitrogen to see if it will change the color or not. Maybe the other is Nikko Blue Hydrangea because it has big leaves also.
There were two butterflies and a bee stopping by at the lavender. I show this white lily because it looked playful.
I was gonna continue to water my plants but there was a disturbance by a man without shirt and white short walking around and screaming including 'pervert' to some workers who are working on the fence for some of my neighbor. It has been noise from just one man for an hour or more. He was giving me a headache and my plants are getting thirstier. Someone has called the cop

Santa Fe Street

Horticultural at the Capital

The front entrance of the Capital had a scent of bearded giant Irises which was not exactly good fragrant to inhale because it was very strong even though there were not many blooms. There is a big parking lot for the information service across from the Capital building. I was surprise to see the 'yellow' flower still blooming because in town its already leaves cover entire shrub. The air was fresh and no smell of gas or any pollution which was a good change of environment. It was cool and moist; once awhile there was a breeze. When we got there, it was 10:30am and there was three cars in the parking lot, but an hour later there almost no more parking left. People from all over the country came according to their license plates.

Memorial Day! Santa Fe Capital of New Mexico 2010

It was a beautiful day! There was sun shine and cool breeze. There was not many cars on the street on our way up to Santa Fe, but there were lot of cars coming back to town. I guessed that they came home after a long holiday.
There are many arts and sculptures display around and inside the capital. I would love to exam all of these but I did not have time to read and to take pictures. I have been to the capital almost every Sunday Fall of 2008 and Winter till I had to prepare to move to my new house and go there every once awhile because of high gas and house payment and less wage on hours. It seems so long time ago that I moved and created a home here. It is still a dream life.
We entered the South side of the capital and park at the coin pay parking lot. Here is a kick. We always paid our meter on Sunday. One Sunday a local told us that you don't have to pay on Sunday! We had contributed and did our part to help the state.
I thought that I should show you a view from my perspective. There is more of course, but I do not think I have room in one blog to show all.
