Belly Dancing

When Mom started her diet she needed to start to do some regular exercise too. One of the moms of a school mate of Jon told us about a belly dancing class that was held not to far from the high school. So Mom and Naomi and I started taking classes together. Naomi eventually found that she had other things that she wanted to do more and stopped going, but Mom and I have been having fun.

On Sunday a group of us performed in a small dance show with several other dancers of all ages and styles. Mom declined to perform, but I did. Fortunately the whole family was able to come and watch, including Gram and Grandad.


How low can you go? This is not easy to hold for pictures.



This is called the Teapot. I used a white veil for the dance, but the only one I had at home to pose with was pink.



I bought the coin belt a the renaissance fair.

President's List

I made the Presidents List for winter quarter, that is a 4.0 GPA. Granted that was not full time, 8 credits, but it's still cool.

2010 Garden

So here is my new garden. It's a bucket garden, because everything has to be moved the end of June, to the house I will be staying at. Don't ask me how I'm going to do it 'cause I don't know yet.

Me in my garden. Can you see me? There is mint, lemon balm (which I just found an ant's nest in, have to do somthing about that), eggplant, sweet peppers, watermelon, tomatoes, 2 different kinds of squash, cucumbers, rosemary, dahlias, freesia, a pink lily and gladiolus. I'm not so sure how the larger flowers will do in the pots but we will see.

Charlie in the garden. We were trying to get a picture of him looking at the camera, but for some reason he aparently thought I was about to beat him.
Eggplant.



Some starts that are growing under the porch (I know it's a fragment, my English instructor would be appalled, and look, there's a contraction too. Hahahahhahahahahah. Ok sorry, I'm better now). There are marigolds, some other pink flower thing, acorn squash, basil and lots of radishes. I also have more marigolds, sweet williams, green onions, morning glories, forget-me-nots, more basil, straw flowers, tea roses (from last year) and all the left over white lilies from the church's Easter decorations on top of the porch.

I'm out of the large buckets that I had, so I have been using cans or peanut butter jars and such to make planters. The next time I go to Kroger I will have to see if they have anymore empty icing buckets (the big white ones). I got all the black ones you see from the floral department.

Under the porch is where my garden's fairy godtoad lives. His name is Philip B. Hoppytoad. (B. is for Brown 'cause he is a brown hoppytoad.)
