Words to live by

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wonder are lost;
The old that was strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

by J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Memory Game

Everyone else is doing it, so why not us, too?


1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together.
It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
Since this is our family blog, feel free to leave a memory about either Cami or Brian.

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave
a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses.
If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll
come to your blog and leave one about you.

How does our garden grow





Well here it is, the project that has taken alot of time and care for us to show off and that we really enjoy. Its right next to our front door so whenever we leave or come home we get to see all these pretty colors. The top three photos are all of my herb pots. From left to right its Texas Taragon, Thyme(regular and lemon), oregano, rosemary, taragon, chives, basil, and mint.

Then you see two close ups of some flowers. The first is a cleome, which cami thinks is a really cool looking plant. Remembers me of a spider. I should have some more pinkish ones blooming soon. The second is a geranium if i recall correctly. The next two photos are the side of the garden that i picked the plants and care for, which include snapdragons(haven't blossemed yet), cleomes, cosmos, allysium, and others that i can't recall the names. After that are all the plants that Cami picked and i don't really know what is what, so you will need to ask her. But in the hanging coconut basket you will see my parsley.

Hope you all think is pretty.
