a planting festivity

for quite sometime now i have been dying to plant some vegetables and herbs. so last time i was at home i gathered some pots, seeds and came back with intention of growing a whole garden in pots :)

well readers, here they are. they are growing so much.

i never knew i could love little plants so much.

sadly i dont think that the rosemary is growing, the front gray pot housed cilantro and rosemary, and where i planted the rosemary is just brown dirt.

but other than that its so lovely. lettuce is the back one, and its almost ready to eat! i could have a baby salad from those little leaves.

then the little orange brown pot is basil.

i can. not wait. for these all to be large and edible.

tomato and basil salad here i come.

mediterranean pizza is at my fingertips.

and lettuce coming out my ears? can you say domestic?

maybe this is how i will eat at college. become a plant hoarder and vegetarian. hmmm good idea. cheap too.

wish me well

the thing is...

i would love to meet these guys. so great. their personalities are so rich! mmm mmm mmmm get me one of them baseball players!

but really i love love love the curling and tanning bed one.
who would have thought?
the best part is it was just barely. like 5-17
there is hope!
now just to find one.

the beginning middle and end

I have been putting off blogging all due to the fact that so much has been going on and every time i sit down to the computer the sun calls my name and i quickly adhere to the loveliness of the day or night.

wicked

FABULOUS. wow words do not explain my love for that production. i think i could see it a million times and still feel the way i felt when i first saw it.

but lets not jump to the middle

the beginning:

family trip to boise. have not done that in awhile. i can tell you this boys like to spread their legs out in the car! no leg room was the song i sang, unless my feet were up between ma and pa.

but disregarding the low room factor we stopped at Shoshone Falls on the way up. Gorgeous place i do love it. Funny thing is that i have been there before ( a long time ago) and for the longest time i thought that somehow we had been to Niagra Falls because of the massive size of it in my imagination. nope. there is however a reason they call it Niagra Falls of the West. So pretty i would like to own a house on the top of it. imagine falling asleep every night listening to the lovely crashing of water. and waking up to rainbows? dreamy

the middle as mentioned above

the end

the zoo

perfect day out

there was the most cute family of orangoutangs. the dad played peek-a-boo with us the mom stared and stared and i swear the baby waved. how fun. and there were loads of babies and such. baby zuri is so cute. precious elephants. and there were baby lemurs! just 10 days old. we were super lucky.

as we arrived the zoo was emptying because of rain. we decided to just go with it and although it was a slight drizzle it was a summer rain making it quite enjoyable. and zoo minus crowds is ALWAYS worthwhile.

a pretty good view of the falls. and some pretty awesome cliffs to go cliff jumping off of. if only if only.

somewhere over the rainbow...
