My hobby

I don't have a lot of free time, but when I do I get feeling ambitious with what I want to accomplish with it. So I have taken up a little bit of gardening. It makes me feel like an old man because it isn't a really exciting hobby like rock climbing or stamp collecting, but whatever. I enjoy it. In the fall I planted a bunch of tulips and daffodils. They came up in the spring and ended up looking very nice. Here Mom, now you can see your grandflowers grow before your eyes. Then in the spring I got feeling more ambitious. We were shopping at Sam's Club and they had this random display of hibiscus trees in the frozen food aisle. So we made an impulse purchase. A few days after we bought it, all the blossoms fell off so now it just looks like a boring green tree. But here's a picture with one of its blossoms still attached.

Then school was finished and so I figured I would take on a few more plants. We bought a couple planters, attached them to our patio railing, and planted some herbs. We decided to grow some basil, lemon basil, rosemary, chives, and cilantro. They are coming along nicely. I am going to use some of the lemon basil and rosemary to make some rotisserie chicken this week and we are going to use some of the cilantro for our Cafe Rio night tomorrow. Exciting, I know.
So that's what has been going on lately. Now that it is summer, I should have more stuff to post since my life will consist of a little bit more than just studying and eating with the occasional bit of sleep. Until next time.
