Much Ado about My Saplings
Today I wanted to show you some of my new little plants. I have been making the effort to grow them from seeds. The ones shown in this photo are all sour oranges. I am also working on a mango seed. There is also a small garlic that we got in the Publix. Mother had used most of it. The remainder I planted to see if it would grow back, and it did. I planted it directly in the dirt, and it is doing just fine. As for the seeds, I started growing them on the cotton. Every so often...
Happy Fourth of July from Artsy Sister
Today is fourth of July. We finally got the pool set up. We spent about 4 hours in the pool before getting inside. We ate spaghetti, which was great. At the moment, there are a lot of fireworks. We have a good view of them from our home. They are being shot by the locals. The pool was a bit of a mess to set up. We spent like two days on it. The hardest thing was putting the pipes on the long end of the pool. The pipes are the support of the pool and whatnot. Just getting the...
Mushroom Photography
Everything has been a little mellowed out around the edges. I decided to take a break from playing games. I have been tackling the Last Remnant. The game is pretty good. It was made by the Final Fantasy people. It is the best turn based RPG game on the market. I think it tanked because it was not called Final Fantasy. It is a well thought out game. I am not certain if I am going to add games in the future. There is the issue of the changing in technology. Games age faster than an NFL running back. I...
Making Space and Other Nonsense
This has been quite the interesting weekend. Without giving it much thought, my brother decided to get us a pool. It is an above ground pool, but a pool nonetheless. It was worth about a grand. It is nothing too far out there. It is at least something we can afford. As of now, brother took the measurements. He saw how much room there was available. He used a tape and a shovel to measure. We have been thinking of adding some sand in preparation for the pool. It is a bit easier than cutting up all the grass. At...
Flowers and Other Hobbies
Today we decided to get serious about out health. Mother and I got a trainer for my brother. He is going to be getting in good shape real soon. As for me, I am going to get a lot of second hand training. If I am just going to mimic whatever he does. Hopefully, I will be able to keep up. The program is going to cost about 200 bucks a month. It sounds like a lot, but it really isn’t. By dieting, we can afford to pay for the program. I just decided to give up the ice cream,...
