WTF, and the weekend in review

In the WTF category--it's the "big day"...we're (rain permitting) landscaping the front of the Student Center this morning, with the volunteer help of some of the staff. (Oh, joy.) But, half of the full-time staff aren't here today, and I expect the PT staff will be hiding from the boss so they dont' have to participate. No idea where Turf Guy and The Other Dave are...The Other Dave is usually late, but Turf Guy isn't....wonder if he's that pissed off already.

And I forgot my work keys and pager. By was kind enough to find them for me and agree to deliver them on his way to work for John.

By's been working for John part of the day, and for Robyn the rest this week; Robyn gets him all day tomorrow and Friday. Not sure about the weekend yet.

Sunday's concert went well. We only had to stop and start over once, and that was because Bob had the wrong music up. The vocalist/keyboard duo ahead of us stopped several times, because his music kept blowing off the stand. Note to self: put clothespins in music basket for RenFest. The Ice Cream Social was worth attending, if only for the neato-keen antique cars and antique fire engine (very very cool) on proud display. The homemade ice cream wasn't bad, either.

Donna and I went to the Hort Farm in DeSoto Monday, to loot and pillage get cuttings and starts of the things that really impressed us. We left there with bunches of hardy hibiscus seeds, and a big bag of lantana and angelonia cuttings, and that ruellia that impressed me so much in July, and a start of the "supermint" (A Satureja hybrid, I later found out), and that wonder euphorb. And grasses..."ruby" grass and "Wind Dancer" (haven't found botanical names yet for either, but they're fine and fancy things). Ahhh, free plants. And I have rose cuttings I need to take to the greenhouse and stick sometime today. Frank snipped them at a friend's house in Topeka yesterday, while he was waiting on the garage to finish his car.
