Planting Parties!

Michelle and I were the first two back from spring break today. Ok, so I technically never left, but still. You get the point. Originally, we had no plans for epic adventures. I got back around 1:30 from church and lunch at American Flatbread (hot dang, that stuff is good!), and Michelle suggested that we go grocery shopping, so off we went. We got all our groceries, and as we were heading to the checkout, we found seeds, and an amazing afternoon was born. I got some flower seeds - Alyssum, to be specific - and Michelle got some basil, but we soon realized we had nowhere to plant them UNTIL we both discovered we were buying yogurt. EUREKA! Dump the yogurt into another container, and you have a plant pot. What excitement!


Upon our return to campus, we decided we needed to get some dirt, because you can't plant seeds without it. Problem: no shovel or spade. Solution: make a shovel/spade out of extra soda bottles!


We decided to get dirt from around campus, so we walked all the way around the quad until we reached the side of the library. It was fairly inconspicuous, and we figured GoPo wouldn't come by. We kept a lookout nevertheless.


We're so hardcore.

On our way back to the apartment, we decided to check out the recently-finished second floor of the science building, and we found a cool room there. I took a picture of my stroke-of-brilliance water draining system in there.


In our travels we also found a photo of our favorite ornithologist/environmental science teacher.


Make of it what you will.

Finally, we marched back up the hill, planted our seeds, and decorated the pots. Here's my finished product!


When (if?) the flowers and basil grow and bloom, I will put up of pictures of them too! I'd say that between our ingenuity, spontaneity, and pioneer-like adventuring spirit, we entertained ourselves in the best possible way.
