Check out my zucchini! 


I have never liked gardening.  I wanted to like gardening, but - I don't know.  Maybe it's because we don't have much of a yard here.  Or maybe because I seem to kill every potted plant I own.  I'm not sure what sparked my interest, but when my mom was here in June she bought me some plants, soil and tools to help me plant a garden.  We were able to find a pretty significant area to cultivate and my plants are actually doing really well!  I have loved watering my garden every night, taking care of the plants, watching them grow.  It still baffles me whenever I find a ripe zucchini to pick.  Nature is cool.  I also have tomatoes and herbs.  I'm already planning on a much bigger garden next year with peppers and cucumbers and yellow squash and more herbs.  Still no potted plants, though.  Those things hate me.

Fanned


These days Scarlett's biggest fan might be...Scarlett.  I've found her checking herself out in the mirror on more than a few occasions.  She even likes to look at herself while she's throwing a fit.  She makes the 'monster' face, which kind of looks like a silent angry cry.  It's so bizarre.  In the photo above she and Brandy are watching a riveting video I took of her playing with play dough.
