#shasta daisy bloom time
Text
Daily Blog June 27, 2023
Arg! I'd hoped to spend sometime planting the pretty flowers I bought yesterday but to my dismay I discovered an invasive weed was mixed in with my Shasta Daisies, which are just about to bloom. The kind of weed that attaches to your clothes and skin. Gloves came out and two hours later, I made a huge dent. Flowers tomorrow.
I had mentioned there were would be additional categories I'd throw into the mix and today I have one I've been anxious to get to. I'm going to call it Magical Elves. They are the people who help make fandom run. I mentioned @phoenixacid in an earlier post, who has been hosting @hd-fan-fair for ten years. This category will cover folks like her and that do even more...yes, even more...
What I'm reading:
On the Discord Drarry Fans Writers and Artists there is a channel for recs. I stole this one from there but then discovered I'd already read it. However, it was long enough ago that I don't remember all of the details. I think I read it when it first came out and before I hopped back into fandom in spring of 2021. The Ordeal of Being Known (146k) by @lou-isfake. I'm only on chapter 3 right now but I just love this Draco and his Oscar the Grouch house-slippers and his house-elf Timsy. The writing is so fresh and clever, I find myself smiling most of the time. Here's the summary, which I think gives you a flavor of the writing style I'm talking about:
When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, there's unfortunately only one person in the country with the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It's obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Draco's never been able to back down from a challenge... especially from Potter.
Features fuzzy cartoon slippers, devious house elves, 90s music, and lots—LOTS—of memories. Ron is annoyingly hot, Hermione sees right through you, Harry is a powerful idiot, and Draco is a reclusive masochist that would buy an entire city if it would make a kid happy. (And Pansy is "5'2, I wanna dance with you, and I'm sophisticated fun.")
Go read The Ordeal of Being Known on AO3.
Hit the Keep Reading!!!!!
Magical Elves:
The first person I want to highlight in this category is actually someone I've met in person at HP Cons and we've stayed in touch over the years in real life. *hugs darlin* You've probably seen @sassy-cissa's name as an author or maybe an email asking you about a fic for a fest but I'm betting most of you have no idea how much she's done for fandom for more than a decade and half, especially for Drarry fandom.
Let me list the ways in how awesome she is:
Current modding responsibilities:
25 Days of Draco and Harry (started in 2009) What 2009 ? Oh my! And do you know she reads each and every story posted for the fest and comments, too!
HD Mpreg Fest – (started in 2011 – I've been modding since 2018)
HD Fan Fair/Career Fair – co-modding since 2019)
Previous modding responsibilities:
Co-mod for H/D Erised from 2014 to 2018
Moderated the H/D Prophet from about 2016 to 2021
See that last one H/D Prophet. Take a look at the link just for a moment. Every Drarry WIP that was updated that week was listed, fests' status, drabble prompts, etc...Every single week. The prophet soon closed down after a few more months due to lack of participation (fandom had moved away from LJ).
Communities owned and/or Maintain:
On LJ: Slythindor100 and HarryDraco Mpreg
On Tumblr: H/D Mpreg and Slythindor100
In addition, why yes there is more, Sassy writes, too, and beautifully! Sassy-Cissa (on AO3). Over 109 stories, mostly Drarry, some Hermione/Severus and a few Harry/Ginny...but as she put it....(but they usually end up divorced or Ginny dies). *snicker*
And she's on FanLore! And she also betas for some of the best.
So I know this is long but I just want folks to be aware of those working in the background, making our experience here in fandom enjoyable and filled with lovely content. They truly are magical elves. Sassy doesn't post much on Tumblr or on Discord but she does pop-in now and then. Next time you see her name, you'll now know who she is.
Tumblr Tidbit:
Did you know that you can edit the text below the Keep Reading line on your post and it will make the changes to all reblogs of your post. Edit above and sorry the reblogs will show the original. This comes in handy if you're making a Masterlist of works or something else that has lots of links or needs to be updated frequently.
Happy Tuesday and Sorry this was so late. My ancient computer decided to crash multiple times. Rom

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY IS KING
A Home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling, because we believe a house or apartment is truly a home once it’s filled with furniture’s and vibes that reflects your personality and shows your unique style. We connect quality with comfort and make your house with a positive vibe and beautiful feel. From our choice of furniture’s to the storage solutions that keeps your house looking spick and span and transform your habitat into the one with full of warmth and personality. It’s a new season all over again and we welcome the vibrant 9 shades of summer flowers. Flowers signifies high spirits, exuberance, cheerfulness and patterns that’s makes us fall in summer love. From patterns of Aster with its wildflower appearance and purple color that symbolizes wisdom, royalty, purity and faith. Peony with its peachy color that is one of the most popular wedding flowers symbolizes good fortune and everlasting prosperity. Morning glory that blooms after sunrise and die before nightfall, because of their short time in sun, this flower represents a warning to cherish love. Shasta Daisy also called summer flowers because they thrive in direct sun light symbolizes innocence and purity. Sunflower as we all know represents happiness and vitality. Lavender which is also called the color of royalty represents devotion and good luck. Hydrangea in pink and blue variants symbolizes heartfelt feelings and last but not the least Dahlia that symbolizes a fresh start. Every floral color and pattern offers a beautiful sense of feeling blended with flourishing, grassy, leafy and fresh vibes. Sometimes we also believe in experimenting when florals and abstract on a crisp white background for a refreshing look. We also believe in Contemporary design techniques that combines with tradition to produce a royal look mostly by colors like teal, gold and some statement pieces. We also love to play with patterns on graphics bold shapes, patterns with a touch of grey, red, rust, beige and off-white hues. At a height of laughter and love your home can be flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities, a slight change and all patterns alter. We look at set of furniture’s, the same ones that everyone else sees, but with the attention to the smallest details we leave a lasting impression in every room of your house and a lot of scope of enticing new possibilities.

[Taehwagang] The song of time, the feast of flowers, and the emotion that blooms in the dense bamboo forest
The Taehwa River's specialty is by far the Sipridae Forest.
But I personally think
as a specialty of the Taehwa River
I pick a bamboo fence.
How charming it is...
through the bamboo fence
Spring flowers, summer flowers,
Geumgye-guk, Shasta-Daisy, Cosmos, etc
It's so lovely.

5 Cheap Landscaping Ideas When You’re On A Budget
1. Freshen Up or Add Mulch Beds
Mulch adds some visual intrigue to any yard at a relatively low cost. The national average for 3 cubic yards of mulch that is delivered and installed is $275, but you can save by doing it yourself. For smaller spaces, even just a few bags of mulch that are less than $4 a piece may do the trick.
Beyond the aesthetic benefits of breaking up the landscaping and helping keep weeds or grass in check, mulch has real benefits for your yard. It’s specifically useful for garden beds or around the base of young trees, as it can help retain good moisture that the plants need to flourish while also insulating the roots. For you, that can translate to savings with your water bill.
The biggest thing to keep in mind with mulch is that it’s best to replace it annually, but the benefits of having mulch may make this DIY job worth the effort.
2. Plant Perennials for Annual Enjoyment
Buy once, enjoy year after year: That’s the beauty of perennial flowers and plants. Although there is an upfront cost with planting seedlings or blooming flowers, opting for perennial varieties will give you many colorful options in just about any climate. In time, many perennial plants will spread to fill more space, which can be a great way to add a pop of color.
To really save money in your garden, consider starting flowers and plants from seeds rather than seedlings. For example, a single Shasta Daisy plant (a drought-resistant flower) may cost more than $10, but you can purchase a package of 300 Shasta Daisy seeds for less than $5.
It’s unlikely that all of the seeds will thrive, but even with a less-than-green thumb, most gardeners will have success getting some of those flowers to bloom.
3. Improve Edging Around your Patio

If you have an existing patio, you can expand its visual impact while minimizing the lawn space you’re responsible for watering by adding a landscaping buffer. The most inexpensive option is to dig out a trench around the existing patio and fill it with mulch. One step up from that, landscaping stones can add a more refined touch—with the added benefit that they don’t need to be replaced on a regular basis, like mulch.
Available in a variety of sizes and colors, landscaping stones may be less expensive than you would imagine. Decomposed granite may be available for just $25 per ton, popular pea gravel is $30 to $60 per ton and smooth river rocks cost $80 to $250 per ton. There may be additional fees for delivery, and installation costs an average of $50 to $100 per hour around the country.
However, with the long-lasting impact that it will provide your backyard landscaping, the addition of rock is a relatively cheap landscaping project that will pay off year after year.
4. Grow Native Plants that Won’t Stretch your Water Bill
Spending some time researching the plants that are native to your area can ultimately save you money—while helping the environment. The big reason for this is that native plants are naturally compatible with the rainfall in your area and, as a result, you don’t have to spend as much money watering the plants. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, native plants also minimize the need for fertilizers, help prevent erosion and keep the local ecosystem in check.
Especially in drought-prone regions of the country, this is a strategic approach that can keep your landscaping vibrant even in dry times. There are benefits to using native plants in areas that experience extreme cold, a great deal of rain or other geographically unique conditions that may not be suitable for all types of plants.
As you look into native plants, expand your search beyond flowers. Other native varieties to explore include native ground cover, ornamental grasses, shrubs and trees.
5. Incorporate Xeriscaping Elements
Developed in drought-prone Colorado, xeriscaping is an attractive landscaping option for anyone looking to cut down on water usage. Elaborate xeriscaping designs that use a lot of hardscaping components can run upwards of $24,000 for a full yard. However, xeriscaping doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing in order to experience its benefits. By incorporating some xeriscaping elements into a portion of your landscaping, you can greatly reduce watering costs while getting a low-maintenance yard.
One common misconception about xeriscaping is that no greenery is allowed. In fact, turf and plants are among the “seven principles of xeriscape design,” because they help reduce erosion. Other suggested xeriscaping elements include mulch, sand, landscaping rock, concrete and even water features.
A few inexpensive and DIY-friendly xeriscaping projects include adding a gravel walkway, creating a dry creek bed with river rocks and expanding the mulched area of your yard. These landscaping ideas can look good for your yard and do good for the environment.
