The picture is on the right. It says "Here you go, Caleb :)." I don't want to put the other pictures on here because they are really ugly anyway, and I look like a man.
This is also to Caleb:
I love you!!!

Flowers
Well, I have been testing out my green-thumb potential for the past week or so.
I hope it proves to be high.
Last Saturday, my aunt and I cleaned out an old flower bed, and planted some daisies in it. I obsessed over it for the past week, pulling weeds and putting up a wire fence around it.
Then, yesterday, she came over with a bunch of plants (presumably from a grocery or hardware store greenhouse), potting soil, and Appalachian brown mulch. We made two other flower beds in front of the house, on either side of the front door. We planted purple and red verbenas, red dianthus, and some violets in those. Then, she planted lamb's ear and violets in an old flowerbed. In the old one we "renovated last week, I planted one orange gazania and one purple verbena, along with three lavender plants.
Today, I planted a bunch of gazanias in an "extension" of the flowerbeds we made yesterday. I also planted some verbena and gazanias in with the lamb's ear, and a strawflower plant. I put a mixture of red and brown mulch in the flowerbeds by the porch, red in the one behind the house and red in the old one. It really looks nice.
Sometime later I am planning on planting some marigolds, too. And hopefully sometime this week, I will plant some cosmos near the house. I can't wait to get started on another little project. It really is fun, now that I actually have a place outside to plant things at.
