#planting

Ohhh I’m literally just designing our new garden now! So I’m a big fan of informal planting but with a couple of architectural elements. I’ve always grown up with gardens that fit in seamlessly with their surroundings - using the local stone in the rockeries, using variants of native plants to make it all look like it’s been there for eons. I would go for year round interest - starting with snowdrops as soon as the snow clears, into the brilliant yellows and ambers of the daffodils and the bright purple splashes of crocus. I’d have hellebores in the borders, surrounded by impending me nots and violets. Hyacinths would scent the beds as you walk past, with daphnes and viburnum scenting the air higher up. Summer comes and the roses are everywhere, a patchwork of colour. They’ll last until October, resilient against British weather.

I have SO MUCH to do 🥹🥹

Katherine returned the kiss, mirroring his passion. A soft muffled whimper once the kiss ended. She didn’t have time to even recover from that kiss before she was flipped around, her back flush with her torso while facing the wall. She released a soft moan of his name as soon as his kisses were planting on her neck, reflexively she leaned her head back against his shoulder, furthering his access, she moved her hips back against his, grinding was her only form of control in the position but again, not even that lasted and after the few words he voiced, the brunette was left touchless and frustrated.
She turned to face him, her expression reflecting just how unamused she was at the entire situation; his latest display of jealousy and dominance had left the doppelganger wanting him, badly and the biggest problem was that he knew it.
breathing heavily as she starred at him, her eyes glimmered with a mixture of lust and frustration. She ran a hand through her curls, brushing them away from her face, it wasn’t rejection but rather Damon teasing her, she reasoned. “something tells me it’s a little too late for that.” Katherine provoked, granting Damon no time to respond, her lips were on his in a nanosecond and her hands roaming his chest and shoulders from underneath the shirt. “we’re probably the worst rescue squad in history.” Katerina mumbled into the kiss, smiling at just how much truth that statement held.
She dipped her face into his neck, getting carried away rather quickly once her lust took over, lips scattering kisses all the way to his collar bone before she suddenly stepped back, chest raising and falling with suppressed desire; the voice of reason had seeming punctured throw the thick veil of desire and Katherine felt the need for a last warning. “if we don’t leave now, Damon. I assure you we wont until the morning.” Katherine informed, unsure herself if her words were meant to be a threat or a promise. Images from last night danced in her line of vision, causing her to smacked herself mentally, realizing just what she might lose with those words, or most likely just delay, but she knew that if they continued the only thing they would be finding is another bed while Stefan’s fangs deep in victims.

Katherine was almost disappointed that she got no reaction to her latest method of provocation but sensing his annoyance was victory enough and she took it with a devilish smirk.
Damon was soon reaching for her hand and consequently agreeing to act his part in their little play.
Holding hands, fingers intertwined, Katherine couldn't help but think how little she minded if this was more than a cover. Her gaze lingered on their hands until Damon spoke, addressing the receptionist. Hearing him actually use her ex lover's name was hilarious to hear and she could barely suppress a chuckle; getting on Damon's last nerve had became a hobby of hers ever since her return, activated his jealousy was another one so combining the two was naturally entertaining. She couldn't help think about whether Damon wondered about her and Mason, about how truthfulness of her feelings towards him.

---

Thoughts were interrupted when thewoman at the desk quickly gave them a key with no further questions, wishing them a happy stay and a great honeymoon to which she received an out of character cheerfulthanks from Katherine.

---

On the elevator ride with some strangers, Katherine wrapped his arm around her shoulder before raising his hand to her lips, softly planting soft kissed to his knuckles; maybe she did it to continue the show, maybe just to toy with him further or maybe it felt natural,to her it didn't matter as long as he didn't know the reason.

---

Arriving to the room, she slipped her hand out of Damon's, closing the door behind. "There's a hospital near by, I'll go pick us up a few bloodbags. We need to lay low while we're here, we already left a body behind. That can't happen again." Katherine warned, reminding him of their little hunt and accidently reminding herself of all that happened after it.
"I got us here. Told you exactly where they'd be but it's you who needs to do the saving. I'm already too close to Klaus and getting caught again isn't exactlyon my agenda."

This is going to sound ultra lame but I'm a 24 year old University graduate working a low-ish paid job and I just want to be able to own property. I'd love to not pay ridiculous rent to a landlord who doesn't need my money. I just can't afford a £10,000 deposit.
Man. I would farm all the produce and livestock to be sourced to local restaurants as well as supplying the bistro on my property that would be open from 11am-3pm. This farm would have working brew site, grape vineyards, and a distillary. Absolutely I would also do my part for the war efforts by planting acres of hemp.
I work internationally and the money is good but living in a foreign country long term eventually becomes a bummer. It's fun in your 20s, it's embarrassing for a middle aged man. Like I am 38 and have no my own home, jump through a million hoops to sort out the work visa paperwork; always looked at as a foreigner, because there is no racial diversity in Asia. Some day I'd like to own a home in a warm resort town. I want to set up my own paint studio and just paint for a living. I do not want to work my full-time job I do now untill I retire. I'm only 21 and I just graduated college, I'm working on setting up my studio and I really wish it gets some attention so I can paint full time in a few years.
To be a good animator with a successful animation-based YouTube channel with my original animations and it looks like it’ll take a while for me to do that because it’s hard being an animator on YouTube since I can’t post everyday and so far my stuff is only a few seconds long I can’t even monetize my channel yet because I only have 10 subscribers
Realistic dream: To have a place in the country close to my mom, get married with a decent man and have kids and lots of dogs. Unrealistic dream: have over 100 acres. Get married have kids. Move my mom and stepdad in their own place on the land. Also move both my brothers and their wives out there. My aunt can move out there too and any of my cousins who want to. Everyone has their own house spread out enough to have room to live our own lives. Have it in a wagon wheel shape though and in the middle a large log cabin esque dinning area. Inside of it a LONG dinning table and rooms for people to gather, and a room for kids to play in. Just a place for "Sunday dinners", birthdays, holidays, etc. That would be nice. Oh and a HUGE stocked lake on the property for fishing. And since it's unrealistic, throw in an income of $10,000 a month 🤣
I got in a awful accident and couldn’t use anything but my arms and hands at the time, and I discovered them when all I can do is play mobile games on my little iPad Air and watch YouTube on it. This is when I was 11. Now I’m almost 18 and I’ve gotten a tiny community on twitch and YouTube. But nothing big. But finally, my intention is to help the younger generations or anyone as a matter of fact, out of their darkest places and times where nothing else would cheer them up.

My parents, first by teaching me how, and then by planting me in the local YMCA's afterschool program, which was so unstructured and excruciatingly boring that I did nothing but read books or solve the problems in logic puzzles/recreational mathematics magazines until my mother came to pick me up.
I could say that my second-grade teacher helped, but she did everything she could to hinder me. She would physically wrench books out of my hands on the excuse that they weren't "age-appropriate", by which she meant they were of a higher reading level than was "normal" for 2nd grade. She had an obsession with pounding out any differences and making all her students average. She would have been an excellent teacher of the gamma children in Brave New World. However, if she'd allowed me to read, then I would have because her classes were boring too. Part of her obsession with making everyone the same involved handing out the same worksheets every day until every student could get it. And she handed out all the worksheets for the day in one go. So I'd finish them all in an hour, sometimes because I'd seen them so often that I had the answers memorized, and then try to read, which would infuriate her. I love to read! Mostly fantasy, like Harry Potter (all time favorite), Hunger Games, Divergent, Scythe, A good girls guide to murder, currently reading book 5 of The dark tower by Stephen King. As a teenager I read quite some Dutch thrillers and other Dutch books about drama, romance, etc. As a adult im more drawn to English books.

I don't care so long as they're not on their phone.
People in their 40s. I can keep up with people around my own age.
Adults from mid twenties and older. Old people are okay to work with too.
Nothing my age. They`re all miserable gits. 🤭
I love pre-k age! Right now I work in a classroom with mostly 5 year olds and 4s who are close to 5. I love how curious they are! Science, art, reading, playing games - they just love everything and soak it all up. I love doing a simple activity like planting seeds and tracking the growth and seeing how excited and involved they are. Many of them still love to sit on my lap to read a book or have me rub their backs at rest time. They can be sassy and test their boundaries but are still so innocent and little!
A year ago I would've said 3's without a second thought, but this year I've been working in a young 4's class and I absolutely love it! It may have to do with it being MY class and not having a coteacher, but they are so capable and curious. I love the way even though I never would I feel like I could leave them alone and they would be totally fine. My kids are the smartest!
Honestly, I get bored easily and I like having a variety of people to talk to all day. I work retail and, as far as customers go, I enjoy talking about Legos, my Little Ponies, TMNT, One Direction, Universities, baseball, basketball, the weather, arthritis, traffic, movies and almost anything except religion and politics. As far as coworkers are concerned, I hate laziness, cliquishness and raging senses of entitlement. There might have been trends of bad traits in different age groups, but I have made a high school student a shift manager and I have been given the Silent Treatment from a woman in her sixties. Smart, hardworking and nice people come in all ages.
I'm in my late twenties. I prefer working with people in the 25-60 age range. Too much younger, and they haven't figured out how to be professional adults yet. Too much older, and their priorities are generally skewed drastically toward retirement / they don't know how computers work. I've worked with kids though, and have also had awesome coworkers in their 70s and 80s, so I don't have a strong preference.
I support people with developmental disabilities in a group home setting. I personally enjoy supporting people who are in the 30-60 age range. Any younger than that and they seem to be more likely to have behavioural issues and haven't settled down yet, any older and they start getting more medically complicated.

Absolutely! The biggest con job in the world, was 9/11. It proves people are sheep, that can be convinced of anything. All 3 towers burned down....and no other had been burned down in history. And one was not hit by a plane. But they say burning debris drifted through the air, and caught it on fire....And then there was the fact, the fire chief and his crew of men, went up 2 stories under the fire. Radioed back to his crew " get me two fire hoses up here, and we will put this thing out." And seconds later, bombs starting going off....a guy on the next building video taped it...and it showed the flashes going off on each lower floor....bringing it down in one spot...just as controlled demolitions do. All 3 buildings....And couple that, with the fact an FBI agent turned in over 60 reports, that men were enrolled in a certain fly school, that did not want to learn how to land a plane just fly it...and finally his boss told him, if he handed in one more report, he would be fired....So they were planting the demolitions then....and get this....each day. for weeks, the government was shutting down areas at a time. taking in bomb sniffing dogs. to check for explosions....but they were planting them instead. Watch a picture of a controlled demolition ....And watch the towers go down...and you know your answer. And it was done to justify Bush invading Iraq...and to punish Hussein for flooding the market with oil, that caused a horrific drop in world wide oil prices....And Bush was an oil man...
And one more final proof....the buildings housed government workers....and all were given that day off...think about that..all of them were given that day off work.....

I have much more proof...but why even bother....every one believes their government would not do that.

there was something, as it were, remarkable, although this is but a feeble term to express its full meaning, about the entire individuality of the personage in the question. somewhat consequent upon the ugly truth, he wanted to take constance words as they were and at least he should be the one accepting what everyone already said inside those four walls. he should leave, it’d be better for them. traces of tears now scorched onto his pale skin and his eyes clearer than it ever were, he tried to stand up but the weight of the world slowly dragged him down once again. in the midst of his counterfeiting consciousness fighting to do what they exhorted him to do and keep his household and try to do better all alone, a single tear escaped his pupil and one word slipped away and faded into those walls forever ❝ dad, come to me, i want to be good, i promise. ❞ he didn’t even knew where to begin with. snapping necks, cutting through flesh, seeing them fight until their last breath – those were the small commodities that came out of nowhere, rushing and planting those grotesque thoughts inside his mind. soft whispers were hard to ignore. he already lost an entire family, everyone was avoiding him at all costs and what did he had to do? how could he stop those poisonous, corrupted thoughts? nobody thoughts him how to do that and he was only a child. ɪ̸ɴ̸ɴ̸ᴏ̸ᴄ̸ᴇ̸ɴ̸ᴛ̸, but covered with the blood of many living creatures.

️️️ ️ ️ ️ ️️️ ️ ️ ️XAVIER LOOKED SICK. sat there looking all REGAL and like a king and shit, mason thought he should probably be intimidated. and yet, he kind of ADMIRED the image of it; he'd probably make a great king. would that make mason one of the SERVANTS? he holds his palms up high. ' alright, alright, no chitchat, i get it. ' but he OBEYS, planting himself beside him.
️️️ ️ ️ ️ ️️️ ️ ️ ️
️️️ ️ ️ ️ ️️️ ️ ️ ️' RIGHT, THE SUMMER. ' he taps his fingers against his thighs rhythmically, GENTLY at first. ' well, i met this pretty cool girl in the summer.

I would just rather a small group of people together to clean the environment and get things out the water and pick up trash.

With animals. Just be careful with the wildlife. Again pick up things that are dangerous and hazardous to them.

Keep an eye out for the overpopulating, the endangered. Hunt safely. Hunt as needed and follow all the rules. Hunting can be good. A lot of people look at hunting as a bad thing. Yea? If you kill all of the species and over hunt, yes. But that's why they have Rangers in law enforcement in it. To keep track of people that are abusing the laws. Hunting can help the overpopulating species. The overpopulating of a species can be bad. It can make other species die out if there's too much of another, especially in one area.

Take down unnecessary buildings that are abandoned. Certain buildings. To give room for wildlife. Keep planting trees. Cut down rotten and bad trees.

I don’t think young people in general are more impatient, or worse in any other respect, than in my day, even though I agree with some of the points about education and society that have been made by others. Not really. I mean kids only live as they're shown right? My generation has to admit we were probably a bit overprotective in as much as we had government and media screaming at us how 'unsafe and dangerous the world was !" At the time we were raising them. Then the explosion of the internet and all the mobile phone technology that kids embraced and we adults were 'fearful' of. And be in no doubt, it's kids these people market to, not adults ! That may have driven a wedge between child and parent. Then all the 'nonsense' in that world that seems to make kids either hard and uncaring or self-obsessed and worried ! Every generation tends to think their young people are getting worse and worse. During the 50s parents thought their kids were going to hell just for listening to rock n roll. During the 70s parents thought their kids were doomed to become drug addicts. Now during the 2000s parents think their kids are getting far too lost in technology. There’s always going to be some sort of complaint. I think they're too willing to sell themselves off to external systems, even systems of thought, for security, leading to an over-reliance on fact, emotion etc..Leaving them internally unbalanced. That could make them come across as impatient.. At least that's one reason why I dislike mixing around. Instant gratification is a big thing now. We have fast food restaurants, microwave ovens, order things online and get them within a day or two, credit cards to get things instead of working, saving up and waiting till we have the money, fast internet speeds compared to 15-20 years ago, can be driving around, etc....First world citizens are basically spoiled. Back when there were so many more family farms and people grew their own food they learned the meaning of patience after planting seeds and waiting for the plants to sprout, grow, bloom and bear fruit or veggies. The produce had to be picked, carried to the home, washed, and cut up etc to eat. Now all a person has to do it open a frozen packet of whatever and pop it into the microwave and heat it for a few minutes and Voila! They have a meal. In many ways yes. They have been too sheltered, too protected, too "bubble wrapped. Nobody fails now. Prizes are given for merely competing, not just for winning. Kids are over protected from everything. They don't get to learn that stupid decisions can lead to great pain by little things like falling off a bicycle and scraping yourself up. They have been raised in front of video screens so they have developed much shorter attention spans. The school systems have filled them with propaganda and taught them to puke it back, instead of doing real research and developing their own ideas.
