Para poderme casar.
Yo trabajo sin reposo
Para poderme casar,
Y si lo llego a lograr
Seré un guajiro dichoso.” Excerpt from “El Carretero” by the Buena Vista Social Club

My Gift To My Mom for Mother’s day
It’s a succulent dish garden that I arranged using 5 different succulents. My mother loved it! It will last her a long time! And the best part for me (I’m broke), it wasn’t that expensive, just a little over $20.
I recommend it as a gift idea.
Hanging Strawberry Planter that I bought from Wal-Mart for only 7$.
The pot is red and has indentations and the leaves above it are bright green, so it resembles a strawberry!
I hung it from the slanting ceiling by using a shepherd’s hook meant for a balcony railing (usually meant to stand up-right) and I flipped it upside down. This way the strawberry plant won’t be under the roof where it would be in the shade. It’ll get more sunlight this way.
The top of one of my balcony garden shelves with 4 potted chrysanthemums and my two statues, Godric and Rauru.
Rauru Pigwidgeon
The owl I bought from Ross to keep Godric, the Gargoyle, some company. Only 2$. Not bad, eh?
The owl from The Legend of Zelda, Kaepora Gaebora, is said to be a reincarnation of Rauru, the sage of the light temple.
Pigwidgeon is the name of Ron Weasley’s owl in the Harry Potter series.
Godric Edvard Gaebora
The Gargoyle (or more technically appropriate, Chimera) I bought at the Renaissance Faire from a salesman that let me have it for $15. It looks like a dog or panther mixed with an eagle.
I wanted to name it Edvard from the start, but I liked Godric better for a first name. And I added Gaebora (the last name of the owl from the Zelda games) for rhythmic effect.

My Ornamental Kale started to bloom flowers as early as late February. (The stitching of the panorama isn’t done too well, unfortunately)

We started it on April 5th, 2013. We used a Genuine Burro Brand Saw Horse for the base with a large plastic storage container screwed onto it.
We then filled it with Potting Soil and planted Cucumber Seeds, Lettuce Seeds, Tomato Seeds, and we included a young tomato plant.
I saw a kid walking down the street listening to music when he came face to face with one of my giant Russian Mammoth sunflowers. He said, “Yo, is that real?”
He thought it was a prop or something. That’s what I want on my streets. Flowers so big and magnificent, they’ll blow a kid’s mind.
