Smith & Hawken, Roseville, CA

Smith & Hawken is opening a store in our area. I would have applied for a position in a heartbeat if they weren’t putting the store in Roseville… at The Galleria. Ugh. We’re never going to revitalize downtown and cut down on driving if all the stores people will drive out of their way for (Sur La Table, Bare Escentuals, Nugget Market, etc.) head for the burbs. Thank goodness the Apple Store is at Arden Fair. That’s at least somewhat centrally located.
Anyway, if any horticulturally inclined people in the Roseville area are looking for work and can stand the soul-crushing Galleria Mall five days a week, check out the job ads on Craigslist. Several positions open.

Backyard Pano

Just went out into my backyard, turned in a complete circle while taking shots and popped those shots into Photoshop’s photo stitching thingy. The results are crude, but fun.

I love that Annie (my little b&w dog) was walking across the lawn with a rawhide shoe in her mouth at the time. I didn’t even see her when I was taking the pictures.

What I should have been doing during the cool morning hours… instead of taking pictures… is deadheading and weeding. Just felt like taking it all in instead.
