Piles of Vellum

Last year, I took a couple of Landscape Architecture classes. I had to buy lots of vellum for all of the projects we had to do. So as a result I have lots left, in all different sizes. I won't be taking anymore L.A. classes, so what am I to do with all of it. I don't just want to throw it away, because it is pretty pricey. I found this on Pinterest and would love to do something like it. What else could I do though? Any suggestions?

Wishing for Fall

 I am ready for fall. I am tired of this 90 degree weather. Bring on the cold and the rain. I love how dark the sky always looks, the changing leaves and the wind. It is my favorite season and I am ready for it right now.

 I am growing pumpkins here in Pullman. I hope I get a couple, because I really want to do this to them. Love love love lace.

 And all that glitters.

 I miss the fog at home that Pullman doesn't get.

 This pretty much sums it up.

Help Wanted

 The first week of school is almost over. I have 3 classes separating me from the weekend. Let's hope it goes by quick.

Now on to more important matters. My aunt has something growing in her garden and she doesn't know what it is. So I am hoping one of you smart gardeners knows the answer!

Excited...?

I survived the first day of classes. Only to do it all over again tomorrow. Today I had Plant Pathology, all about diseases, Chemistry, Botany, and Entomology, all about bugs. I can't believe I am going to say this, because I know it will not be true in a couple weeks, but I am excited to start the homework and get back in the swing of things again. For some reason it is always fun to think about school and all that it offers and everything you have to do. The hectic schedules and desperately trying to get that paper that was assigned to you months ago, and just started working on last week, done. Every school year, you always tell yourself, 'I'm going to read every week, and get everything done in a timely fashion.' That only holds true for the first 2 weeks, if that. I'm ready to do this again...

So here's to a new school year!

Sunday Jitters

 It's Sunday. Tomorrow is Monday. Tomorrow is also the first day of school. So today is a lazy day, as if I am anticipating the hectic day that is ahead of me. But lets face it, tomorrow won't be bad at all. Tomorrow is the first day of school, aka "Syllabus Day". One of the easiest day of the year. We spend the class periods going over the syllabus, and then maybe start taking notes. What I do love about today is that I finally get to get my bag together, with the brand new notebooks and pens that are begging to be used. I also have to pick out my first day of school outfit. But since moving over here, I feel like I have lost half of my closet. So naturally, I have nothing to wear...

While I am going through my closet for the 1000th time, you can enjoy these photos of the zinnia's my grandpa grew from seed.

Here We Go Again

Today is the day. Summer is over and I have to go back to school again for the fourth time. Here we go again!

Like My Daddy Does

Earlier I posted about my Grandma's and Grandpa's gardens in Omak. You can find them here and here. This post will be about my dad's garden here in Snohomish! So every time I come home, he always has to give me a "tour" of what he has done with the place as soon as I walk in the door. But I must admit that the yard does look pretty good. It always makes me wonder if the yard has always looked liked this, and I am just now noticing it because of my interest in gardening now. Or if this is a new occurrence. They tell me that it always looked like this... so where was I while this was happening?

These are his pride and joys this summer... Huge tomato plants.

 I move back to college very very soon, and we do not have a garden where I live. So my garden will hopefully reside on my windowsill...
