My Latest Project

As if my life wasn't busy enough already... I decided to take up gardening. I have no idea what I was thinking.

To make things worse, I decided to start from SEEDS. I mean really, I have no idea what I was thinking.

Anyway, I planted an herb garden.

From left to right in the grey planter box is ciltantro, oregano, basil, and green onion.

The front left pot is more cilantro because cilantro is basically impossible to grow indoors and will bolt to seed in no time.

The front right is what is left of my orchid after my mom and sister tried to kill it in my absence.

I also planted lots of different types of flowers.

I started with these little pod things about 3 weeks ago, and about half of them have already outgrown them, so this is what is left. The pink pot is more basil.

Here's what I did with the other flowers... I just hope they actually bloom!


And finally... I bought a hydrangea. It was just so beautiful. I couldn't resist. I rescued it from its tiny pot and replanted it.


I've also been working a lot in the backyard pulling weeds and figuring out how to get rid of these ugly bushes by my patio. I bought a couple of rose bushes but I haven't planted them yet.

If anything ever blooms, I'll be sure and post more pictures :)

Videos!

Bethany has been asking me to record When the Rain Comes for forever, so the other night I decided to finally sit down and just do it. It was 3 in the morning so I look pretty sleepy, but at least I actually did it.

I'm still trying to figure out the whole imovie deal, as it cut off my hands and guitar when I exported the videos...

For now, you can enjoy these first round videos of me in my bathroom at 3 in the morning, singing sleepy songs :)








I'm working on recording some of my own music, but it may take me a while to work up the courage to actually post them somewhere.

Love you guys.
