My Baby Plants Part 3

by Gabrielle at 5:15 PM

I didn’t really want to take pictures of all my plants this go around, so I just took a single shot of my growing brood.

Last night, Phil and I decided to transplant our babies. They were getting a bit too big for their little cells – at least most of them were. We decided to leave the green peppers, watermelon, and tomatoes until they are a bit bigger. Maybe in about a week or so, we should be able to transplant the rest and put them out on the patio. They need to be out there now because as you see from the picture above, there just isn’t enough room for all of them in front of the window. The weather needs to get steady though. I don’t want to put them outside, and have them die a few hours later.

Well, I can’t think of a whole lot to say about the plants. They don’t do a whole lot – except cause a huge mess in the kitchen. That is where we transplanted them because it was too cold outside. I wish I had a picture of the dirt all over Phil’s kitchen floor. It was a pretty amusing site. Heh.

I’ll try to start blogging more regularly again. Let me get over my sickness first. My Chinese battalion of martial fighters heard about the unrest in Tibet and left me. Jerks. I was just starting to think I was invincible, too. :)

Flowers on Easter

by Gabrielle at 7:00 AM

I went over to my Aunt’s house to attend our family Easter dinner. When I got done eating, I went outside with my camera and started taking pictures of the pretty flowers blooming in the back yard. Since I am not entirely sure what these plants were called, I haven’t included their names in this post. I’m not a botanist, so shoot me. And since I can’t think of catchy lines to describe each and every flower I have listed below, I’m just gonna let you look at them and go, “Aww.”

Office Decorations

by Gabrielle at 4:03 PM

I don’t think I ever intended for my office to turn into a Chinese office, but slowly, that is what is happening. Not that that is a bad thing or anything. I don’t know why I didn’t take a picture of my other Chinese things I have on my wall and what not, but I will later. I’ll take my tripod in one day and take a panorama shot of my office. That should turn out pretty neat, I think.

I don’t have much to say today, but I thought I would at least let you see the two things my Aunt Beverly gave me a week or so ago to help decorate my office.

Lucky Bamboo

Bamboo.

I’ve thought about buying a whole lot of these and turning my office into a jungle of sorts.

 

Office Fountain

I thought this little fountain was cool, but the batteries died on me – twice. I think I’m going to have to buy one that plugs into the wall or something if I want the white noise of trickling water calming me as I work. Even though the water is not running right now, it still looks cute on my credenza.
