Dry Dandelion

While at the pet shop one day to get the new bottle for Meimei, I saw this.

Dried Dandelion from Sanko Sun Farm which is rumoured to be good for the bunny liver. If only I knew... I would have bought it instead of trying to plant it and my Baobei might get a chance to eat it... :o(

Disappointed... But... Be Constructive

I got an email yesterday that says that Sorbet's parents has decided to keep him. I am quite disappointed but happy as well. I hope that they will take care of him very well. Jacelyn from HRSS let on that they will have some new adoptables soon. Jojo and Orange. Since I want to adopt a boy, I guess it will not be Jojo. Maybe Orange will be a boy. Actually there quite a few adoptables on the site but some are lionheads. Cute but also heavy fur shedders. I think my grandma will kill me if I get them. Some needs to be adopted in a pair which is not suitable as well. WAHAHA!! Wanna adopt yet wanna choose...

In view of this small 'hiccup', I can take the time to think and to observe Meimei again to see if she really needs a new companion although I think the answer will be yes... Meanwhile I should really complete the things that I have been sitting on which I must complete soon. The list goes like this...

DECEMBER TO DO LIST
1. BTHN layout (official job)
2. Zara's Taggie Blanket (which I must send to US)
3. Change eye of the Baobei soft toy (looks like gremlins now)
4. Decorate Baobei's 'shrine' (needs embroidery and felting plus constructin)
5. Learn the mod podge silk screen technique and make labels (owe Aaron and explanation)
6. Make panda soft toy (Mandy's belated bday gift)
7. Make clutches that I owe to Nafa friends (belated bday for very long already it can be xmas gift now)
8. Make felt brooches (was gonna upload on Etsy but sidetracked by Baobei's passing)
9. Make bbb website
10. Make travel cases for SLH sisters (belated bday again!!)

SO MANY THINGS TO DO FOR DECEMBER!!! Die... Die... Die... And so many photos to be uploaded to the blog as well.

1 WEEK

Let me start with the vege I was planting... This photo was taken 1 week plus after sowing the seeds. Xiaobaicai is the most productive and fastest growing. At that time I was hoping that the Dandelion will sprout. I got the seeds online from USA and till this day have not succeeded in getting a single Dandelion yet. They are suppose to be good for bunnies so I was crossing my fingers. In any case I think only Baobei will want to eat it as he is a glutton. Meimei is more picky preferring the normal veges. She will probably only eat the Xiao Bai Cai.

3 WEEKS

This is taken 3 weeks plus after sowing. The Xiao Bai Cai has grown quite tall. Also I suspect that a Dandelion is growing!! Waiting to see if it is indeed the ever elusive Dandelion which is suppose to be a self seeding weed!!





A few days after this photo is taken, my grandma destroyed the garden and replanted all my Xiao Bai Cai. Of course killing the suspected Dandelion in the process as she did not see it there. I was so angry I shouted at her. I feel guilty after that but I was really angry. I have waited for years to get the Dandelion and it was killed... Sigh...

Of course after this the unfortunate passing of Baobei happened and I neglected to take anymore photos. I will upload the photos I took last night tonight.

UPDATE – WEEK 8

This should be 8 weeks after planting. I have stopped counting after Baobei died. Dandelion is definitely dead too.
