Sedum Angelina propagation; more Jefferson City videos (Issue 116)

Today’s feature garden plant is Sedum rupestre ‘Angelina.” Here is the new website page. I have been trying for years to find time to spread this plant more. I am always distracted by so many other things we are doing. I want to spread it all the way down the walkway next to the stone wall where we have a gap. Instead, I am spreading it this year to the garden bed where the bulk of the water flows like a river.

I lined the path with black rocks and transplanted Sedum Angelina in between the rocks. It withstands the flow of water in the other area very well. I am anxious for it to grow and to see what it looks like filled in. This is a peripheral project to the water drainage pipe project we worked on all year. In fact, us finishing this project allowed us to declare the whole big project finally done!

Watch the new YouTube video to see just how easy it is to propogate and spread Sedum Angelina (or any kind of Sedum).

I am still trying to get our vacation trip from earlier this month together and on website pages. I put several of the locations from our trip onto one page here.

I wrote on the website more information about the below places.

Here is the YouTube video for the Carnahan Memorial Garden and we could see the Governer’s Mansion next door.

Here is the YouTube video for Jefferson Landing State Historic Site.

This is the video for our walk on the Bicentennial Bridge to Debora Cooper Park on Adrian’s Island.

I combined the places we went to eat into one YouTube video. The Prison Brews was a restaurant that fit the theme of the Missouri State Penitentiary which we would take a tour and was unique. Then we went to two ice cream places and the comparison of the two, across the street from each other, was interesting.

I still have one video to put together. I have shared 8 and have 5 more to share yet.

I am in need of a vacation outdoors and our plans keep getting messed up. There never seems to be a good time to go anywhere this year. I did go camping last weekend just me and another lady. I was hopeful for a new camping buddy, but it is not to be. I took no photos. I am just going to leave it at that. They all cannot be good. Hubby is back to working a lot of overnight and has declared on weekend he will be too tired to do anything.

We have been watering the grass a lot, especially since we reworked the mess the city did with our yard when they installed the new waterline, and reseeded it ourselves. It needed water to grow and this weather and lack of rain have kept us busy with the hose. I am glad that the seed is beginning to grow and look good. I look at our neighbor’s yards and the grass is either browning, or there is huge masses of bare dirt, or there is hay where the city reseeded and it never rained. It is beginning to look like a war zone on our street.

I ended my last post with “Whereever I am, the world comes after me.” and I was going to write a poem and finish that while camping, but that did not happen. I am imagining in my head the great outdoors unfolding behind me in that statement. I can see the graphic in my head too. I wondered if anyone actually read that and wondered what I meant. It is not about people following me, but rather that the world of God’s creation follows me. No matter where I am at, it is there for me to enjoy.

So,

Wherever I am, creation is there for me to enjoy. Just enjoy it.
