Roses and the Beach

Today:
      Since my mother left for Mexico last weekend, I have been taking care of her garden for the past few days.  I mean when she told me how to care for the plants I didn't really pay too much attention to be honest since I thought, hey I'll just spray them with water for a little bit once a day and forget about them until the next day.  Turns out, she has such a different variety of flowers, that doing what I was doing for the rest of the time she is going could have potentially killed off her garden.  I got schooled by a neighbor of mine when she saw me poorly watering the plants and frankly, I should know better than to do what I do since my father was a gardener and worked at a nursery and studied plants.  I guess non of that ever rubbed off on me so I bet hes looking down at me laughing at my poor attempts of taking care of the plants.

Summer is Finally Here

     For the first time in something like two weeks, the sun is finally shining strong.  It is about 80 degrees Fahrenheit and I love it.  I'm looking at the forecast as well and i can see that its going to be like this for at the very least the next 4 days.  I'll be planning on going outside and playing some soccer with friends probably and going to the river or beach to do some day drinking.  I'll also be taking care of my yards since during the school semester I've let it go real bad letting shrubs go out of control and letting some plants die.  I might even try to install a new irrigation system since my dog destroyed all of the hoses from the one we had installed a while back.  Overall I'm definitely glad the sun is back here in California making the weather seem much more like summer and less gloomy.
