The perfect pile of poo

I just read, moments ago, a great article on composting: click here to go to the website.

See, I am trying to start a garden. Naturally, I want it to be the kind of garden that keeps giving back, however, since I have historically been a city girl all my life - and by "city girl" I mean that my day-to-day standard of living has always depended on commercial grocery markets - I don't know the first thing about gardening.

I also have big dreams for this garden of mine: I'm hoping to revolutionize the world with it. Of course, in order to be successful with it I am beginning to realize that I'm going to have to enlist the help of others, especially considering my lack of practical experience with gardening. Oh yes, I failed to mention that I'm trying to grow a vegetable garden. I have a book that has suggestions on how to grow a salad out of a container - I'm hoping that if I can do it myself and teach others how to do it, I can call my life a success! Or at least, this part of my life.

My motivation for starting this is twofold: the lack of quality at the supermarket, and the price of gas. I desire to have more control over the taste and nutritional value of my fruits and vegetables, which I can do if I grow my own. Furthermore, it will definitely be a heck of a lot cheaper to just walk out to the backyard and pluck fresh tomatoes off the vine than to get in the car - or walk to the bus stop - and travel to the grocery to get tomatoes.

But I have no idea what I'm getting into, and so far no supplies yet either. I only have deep hope and a vision, and the deeper hope that the greatest manifestation will be if I can teach others how to grow their own vegetable garden too!

First Saturday back to work

So, I have decided to give some attention to this sadly neglected blog. I really like this blog service - I really do - but I bought a permanent account on LiveJournal, and well, I feel guilty if I don't post there.

But I really like this blog service. It's superior to LJ in many ways, much as I hate to admit it. Glenn was right; then again, I really didn't think he'd take me seriously last June when I told him I wanted a permanent account on LJ. *shakes head*

That's ok. LiveJournal is wicked cool. I'm not at all unhappy about being anchored there. SixApart is also wicked cool (I also have a blog with them on Vox). So many blogs, so little time ...

... I need to figure out a way to separate all these blogs I maintain. Yeah, that would make so much more sense! Or at the very least, publish links to all my other blogs on my LJ posts!

Talking about online dating on Today show. I am so lucky Glenn turned out to be so great! :)

Having fun posting to my blogs via cell phone. Unfortunately it racks up TMing charges... : / Hope my car is done soon!

I come into Tires Plus they tell me it will be an hour. Inwardly I groaned. Then the Today Show came on w/ Richard Simmons. Problem solved.

New beginnings

So here it is the new year, and suddenly I've got the maddening urge to update all my neglected blogs, hee hee! I almost don't want to post because it will push the pretty clouds picture down, but oh well.

One thing I'd like to do this year is keep up on making creative blog posts, almost making it like a digital scrapbook (almost), or better yet I'd like to improve upon my HTML skills ... or maybe even learn something more advanced like php like my husband does. I want my blog to be colorful, dynamic, interesting, and well-written. I don't want to simply post pictures just for the sake of posting pictures; I want to post pictures that are relevant to what I'm writing, images that will help illustrate what my words are trying to communicate.

That's all I've got for now.

Pretty Clouds

This picture was actually taken some time toward the end of June. With the end of the drought comes much better viewing conditions at twilight. ^.^
