Gardening...Kinda...

So I've decided to try "gardening" again... :-) My mom has an awesome green thumb, but I did not inherit that thumb. Maybe it's because I sucked my thumb so hard, for so long that I eventually pulled it out of it's socket. I even had to wear a cast! Hahaha! And yes, that really did happen to me.

Anywho, I'm good at keeping flowers alive in vases and I even kept Africa

n violets alive for a really long time! Nate's grandparents gave us a beautiful pot of Rosemary and it lasted for a few months...and then we forgot to water it and yeah, it died. Neither one of us are good at keeping plants alive. But now that we have a cute little backyard I thought that I would try it once more.

Nate and I went and bought some cute flowers and pots this past weekend. N even made me a cute little mulch thingy to put my pots on. See! Just the fact that I have to say "mulch thingy" proves that I have no clue what I'm doing! Haha! I'm going to try to keep this little buggars alive. I am very determined!

Nate even asked if I was going to talk to them. I laughed and told him no, but neither of us believed it. I mean, I've already named all my flowers!

Left to Right: Gaga, Dash, Fergie, Perry & TayTay

Yes, I know. I've named my flowers after singers. Lady Gaga, Dashboard Confessionals, Fergie (obviously), Katy Perry, & Taylor Swift.

Our cute little backyard!

We used to have a fixed up glider out front. It was too big to put inside and we wanted something outside so we put it out there. But it was dirty, big, and we never sat on it. So while we were buying flowers I saw a plastic chair that could take it's place easily. And it was only 6bucks! Thank you Wal-Mart! :-) Now I can sit out front and not feel like I'm about to contract some weird dirty chair disease.

Since this plant is up front, I forgot to put my pretty, bright yellow flowers in the pot that's under her. Yes, the flower is a girl, and her name is Adele (I call her Addy for short).
