Many thanks to greygirlbeast for reminding me why I'm glad to be out of science fiction fandom...
I don't have any Triffid Ranch shows scheduled for a little while: the Czarina and I are both going to be out showing plants and jewelry at Texas Frightmare Weekend at the end of April, and I'm awaiting word on whether I've officially been accepted for the Funky Finds Spring Fling in March...
The good news: I think I found a perfect house, even if it means moving to the West Coast to take advantage of it...
It's the beginning of many updates to be made through November (as with the poor sods involved with NaNoWriMo, I plan to write 50,000 words this month, only all of mine are going to be Plant Care Sheets and various new observations), but the main Texas Triffid Ranch site is now revised...
The Texas Triffid Ranch This year, I have to settle for mums for holiday flora. Next year, though, I plan to have a Wollemi pine as the Christmas/Yule/Cephalopodmas tree. Appropriate, actually.

Regular readers may note that I've stopped the usual Borders Deathwatch updates and events, and that's partly because it's not fun any more...
Every year at about this time, I get at least one person who asks me if I'm going "home" for the holidays...
I could note that the horticulturally inclined have all sorts of holiday gift-giving options. For instance, I could note that Dallas Bonsai Garden has a very good list of bonsai tools and accessories listed by price, for instance, and I know I'll get a lot more in the intervening weeks...
For as long as I've known her, taphophile has been using laboratory glassware for drinking implements, particularly for parties...
Yes, today is Guy Fawkes Day, and I'm of many minds on it. I have a personal stake in the holiday, because if the commemoration of Gunpowder Treason hadn't been done so enthusiastically for 300 years, my immediate paternal ancestors wouldn't have come over to Canada and the US...
Okay, I related last week that the new issue of Gothic Beauty came out on Friday, and I promptly gave my contributor's copy to my niece Kristen. Ergo, I didn't actually read my new "Gothic Gardening" column as printed until today...
The Czarina just passed on an intriguing thumbnail guide to houses made of cob, and I have to admit that I like the idea. I even think it would work incredibly well in Dallas, with our 330 days of sun per year and local soil that's nothing but clay and mud...
