Our (Not So) Ugly Garden
My mom used to have a blog, called My Ugly Garden. She stopped posting a year ago, though, because our ear (singular) of corn was the size of a quarter. I am still fighting to bring her back to blogging! Because she has not posted on her blog of this spring/summer crop, I am doing so for her. Feast your eyes...this is truly her not-so ugly garden!! Isn't it cute?! And just a few minutes ago, I had one of those golden tomatoes and boy was it good!! :)

DC Part One
Since my brain is so tired it feels like a bowl of grits, today I am just going to tell you a little overview of my time in DC :) It's really great to be back at last!!
We went to Jamestown, Williamsburg, Monticello, Mt Vernon; the Jefferson, FDR, Martin Luther King Jr, Lincoln, Vietnam, Korean War, Iwo Jima, WWII, Pentagon, and more memorials; and the Air and Space, Holocaust Memorial, American History, International Spy, and Newseum museums. We also visited the National Archives, Supreme Court, Arlington Cemetery, and outside of the White House. We tested the acoustics at the Canadian Embassy, rode the metro to the Pentagon, and ate lunch at a tavern. It was a ton of fun!
I really got to know people from my old school that I'd known for a long time but never got close to before. I was surprised how little I really knew about some people that I'd known since kindergarten!!
I also met some great new friends, from other schools. First, the people who I got to know the most: Sophia, Liam, and Otis. Thanks for taking time to actually talk to me! A few other people who I met a little and said hi to without getting to know them too well: Kori, Carly, Peyton, Ethan, Sarah, Tommy, Clay, and Jayden. It was nice to meet y'all :)
Otis was very surprised that our school was not familiar with grits. He tried to explain that you could really put whatever you want on them like maple syrup, butter, cheese, etc. He usually wore a ball cap with his home team on it and was really nice.
Liam was fun to talk to. He also was confused by the fact that we didn't know what grits were. One of my friends kept asking him about grits--she was rather intrigued by them ;) He hung out with Ethan a lot, and the guys from our school.
Sophia and I had fun talking as we walked around Arlington and Jamestown, and sat together on the bus. We are hoping to email each other and keep in touch! We have a few things in common--we both really liked Percy Jackson and reading, and other things.
That long post was way bigger than I expected!! So much for my brain full of grits. I will post pictures soon!!
