When I started this blog, I wanted to post photos frequently. I realized that hasn't been happening lately, so I'm loading this post up with pics!
My long lost friend, Nathalie (from Virginia!), whom I met in Argentina whilst we were both studying abroad there 2 years ago, happened to be coming to Denver with some friends. We went to the Botanic (NOT Botanical) Gardens and went downtown for a bit. It was really fun to get to hang out with an old friend and be with people who are also not from Denver and/or Colorado!
Taking a touristy photo
Amazed at the water lily's resistance to water.
Climbing public art downtown, naturally.
One of the funniest/coincidencical things about this whole living sitch, is I had already agreed to volunteer at the organic garden at my friend's living community that I am now staying at temporarily. Remember that insane hail storm I blogged about? It destroyed a lot of the garden here, so that is why I've been able to help. They needed help replanting some stuff, but hopefully the others will grow back. Yesterday and today, I just walk down the sidewalk and BOOM, garden. Organic gardening is something I've been interested in a long time but I wasn't sure if I would actually like doing it. After experiencing it, I'm more than positive I do indeed enjoy it very much. I'm looking forward to the day that I can do this regularly in my own backyard! But first I need a backyard I suppose... that decision will be for NEXT May...
Anyway, here are some shots:
The little bridged entrance.
The one plant I have some experience with, basil! I transplanting some of these. See the row going back?
I planted carrot seeds here! See them?
Which will hopefully grow into this and then hopefully grow carrot, the food.
I planted beans on either side of the row of...lettuce I think it is?
This is mainly for Aimee and my mom, who are flower lovers. This is camomile!
I have a good housing lead, so please pray it all pans out and I'll be settled again soon!
Also, follow my dear friend, Rachel, who is new to the blogging world!

Now there are two areas of interest that you have picked from me - photography and now gardening. I am anxious for you to see my garden. It's looking fabulous dawling! The lettuce and spinach are now growing after the bunny was "dealt with."
