oh that's much better

woke up this morning and didn't feel like i was half dead. some combination of the weather and the general intensity of taking care of sylvia had really gotten to me. i got a good nights sleep last night and sylvia might have skipped a feeding. she went from sleeping through the night to eating every 3 hrs somewhere around 4 months. at first we thought it was a growth spurt and then maybe teething and then i just gave up figuring it out. i'm still not sure, but sylvia is 5 months now and in one more month we introduce solid food *gulp*.

the weather has broken and it was actually sunny this morning. it's clouded back up again, but i think i'm ok for now. i need to take pictures of a few daylilies. several of my mom's are blooming today and my 4 of my purple-my-butt daylilies are blooming together. it looks lovely. the balloonflower buds are now big enough to look like small balloons. i've seen several large clumps in the neighborhood so it looks like they are well suited for this climate. it has been raining for days *whoop whoop, ye're all gonna die in the great flood* per the weather channel. more importantly though, it means i'll have to wait for days after the last rain to plant the plants i got myself for my birthday.
