This is the first post of the rest of your life...

Hey, Tonic here. I've decided to start a blog to share all the interesting things that I run into on a daily basis. I figure its time to share it all with someone other then Mr. Boyfriend, who so patiently listens to it all.

He actually sent me this one. He has a obsession with trailers, mostly of the mid-century tow-along type. My favorite, being a born and breed Rennie, is of the classic Gypsy variety.

I love all the wood work!

OK, this is CRAZY. They describe it as:
"The rigorous, 18-month growing technique involves meticulous watering, pinching and tying of the chrysanthemum to a customized wire frame to train the plant to grow into the desired form. The blooms are painstakingly arranged in a dome shape, with the goal of achieving as many uniform blooms as possible.

Only a few growers in the entire world today are skilled in the techniques of training a Thousand Bloom. Longwood Gardens' team of growers is led by Yoko Arakawa, who has trained with master chrysanthemum growers in Japan and frequently travels there to advance her understanding of this rare art form."
