It Works!!!!

They actually grew!!!! There are more buds then just these, but that was the only spot where I could get a picture of 5 of them, in the same picture.

I figured the red circles might help you find them, It was Very bright outside, when I took the picture just now.

However I do have a Heather that is trying very hard to die, apparently a cat or some other animal dug it up out of the ground, and Peter stuck it back in, and told me about it. It's getting plenty of water every day, but just doesnt seem to want to live..... If plants can have desires....

Flower Bed Project

Recently we divided up the flower bed into 3 sections, with each of us guys taking on one as our responsability to keep it weeded, and do the necessary work to make it look good.

My portion of it, is coming along well, IMO

Yesterday I planted several packets of seeds in ground, there in the section of dark dirt.(top soil and peat humus that I added)

Here's a close up of my dirt, the day after I planted the seeds, I'll add more pictures when they sprout.

My First Day of Summer Break!!!

Tomorrow will be my first real day of Summer Vacation!!

I don't really have much to say about it, seeing as how it hasn't happened yet, but still, I'm excited about the thought of not having any school to do tomorrow.

We went to the Devil Rays game last night, or as those PC ppl like to say it "Rays" game. ;-) (that's a wink!) Sadly , the rays got killed.... 4-9, against the worst team in baseball.

But, no matter how bad the Rays are, I will still root for them!

Umpiring This Summer

The reason for making my blogs URL Dade City Blue, was because of my "hobby" of umpiring Little League games, So I figured it was time to write something associated with it.

The regular season is over, and TOC is going on, All Stars should be coming up soon, and I'm starting to think about what I will do, as far as all that goes. If I should umpire in All Stars, or just enjoy my newly found free time, since school is out. I somewhat enjoyed umpiring during the regular season, I only had a couple of rough games, where the coaches showed their true colors, and were jerks. I would MUCH rather be at practice or playing in a game then umpiring it. Come to think of it, I would rather stay home and watch the Devil Rays on TV.

People ask, "Then why do you do it??" , I'm still not sure.... Somewhere between those (very few) fans who say "Thank you, good job, Blue" , the great need for umpires in DCLL, and my Mom's encouragement to continue , and stick through, even when its not so fun. I manage to forget the game the night before, and whatever bad that happened in it, and come out, with my mind fresh and ready for the next game.
