Just Waiting to Fall

I have been awake since 4:30 yesterday afternoon.  These stretches of insomnia almost always come on Thursday nights.  Therapy, of course, is on Friday, so there may be a connection there.

I replaced my sunflowers with these dark purple tulips,

which I do enjoy.

I've got some wildflower seeds which I'm going to scatter over some bald spots in the yard.  I ordered a lavender tree, which I hope to plant by the front porch.  Why I'm interested in seeds and planting all of a sudden is anyone's guess.  Oh, and I got a baby air plant.  Did you know they're called pups?  I have a small conch shell I may put it in, or a really pretty piece of glass that is part of something that I don't know.  I want to say it was involved in a tea set somehow?  Anyway, I've given it its submerge bath, and we'll see what happens.  I've never understood how air plants survive, much less reproduce.

Sorry about the insomnia--always a curse. The Spring calls for our inner gardener to come out!

I confess to enjoying a bout of insomnia from time to time. It's like gifted hours when I'm not expected to be doing anything productive. I wasn't a fan when I worked though. There's nothing worse than trying to get to sleep when you know you have to be up in a few hours to face the DC Beltway traffic.
