Went in and had to re-lay the grass seeds down but used fertilizer along with it. I think the dirt is too dry to sprout the seeds alone. Hopefully this works. Either way- working on this feels awesome.

I love the project that has become our yard. The fiancé and I spent about 4 or 5 hours re-tilling the half of the yard that I did ( the dirt is dry as all hell, it’s had no attention for years) and tearing up he roots on the other half. I don’t think either of us had done actual labor like that in a loooong time- hah. But it felt great and it’s felt great to come out here and water them everyday, making sure its all tended too. I even bought earthworms for the yard (hope they don’t die), got to play in mud and handle worms. Best part. 

Anyway- grass, I await you.

San Pedro was fan-flippin’-tastic. The last time we were there was for my birthday weekend last year. So sort of around the same time, and before that it hadn’t been there for years. For those of you who are unaware of the amazingness of San Pedro, it’s a very Hispanic thing to do with family. 95% seafood “restaurants” and I use that lightly… But oh SO good. We got a big plate of ceviche and oysters!! My first time w oysters. So. Awesome. Taste like the ocean with a mushy texture, doused in lemon and salt and chile.  My favorite part of the whole day. The picture still makes my mouth water.

The dear and I off to Sunny San Pedro for the day! Seafood lunch then hopefully a visit to the Marine Rehabilitation Center and then a sweet little park with ponds and ducks! Thumbs up to Saturdays off together.

I love legitimate Fridays like these. Where I don’t have to worry about being tired, or getting to bed on time. I just tilled half of the backyard to ready it for grass- then stuffed my face with pizza and now I get to just lay down and do the best thing— nothing.

Ok I totally caved on the green thumb thing and bought more flowers. She’s got her own pot and everything. Been tilling the yard as well for what, I feel, is the hardest green thumb project- grass. It’s like goldfish. It always dies.

Snap-Dragons planted for my mom for mothers day. One is finally sprouting its first dragon; pretty excited. I’ve kind of always wished I had a green thumb like my grandmother. That woman could raise a jungle from a flower pot- pretty sure it’s the only thing left in earth that stirs “love” in her. But I’ve always been the plant murderer. Maybe for moms flowers I can get my thumb to a pale shade.

blinkanditsover:

A mouse diced with death when it stole some food from under the nose of a leopard at the Santago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire.

Instead of pouncing on the mouse, the 12-year-old African leopard, called Sheena, simply watched as it fed on scraps of meat thrown into its enclosure.

At one stage she tried to nudge the mouse away with her nose, but the mouse carried on eating regardless.

Favorite photo sequence of the day.

Pretty sure we’ve all wondered this at some point or other when these commercials come on.
