Picture Wednesday: 2

Keeping Busy

     Well the last few days I've been pretty busy and I'm hoping to keep it that way. If you saw my "Felling Accomplished" post that you may already know that I've planted some rose bushes. Earlier today, before I went into work I was able to get two more bushes planted leaving two left to plant. Those two are climbing roses however and I have another place in mind to plant them. Hopefully when I get everything set up I can get a picture of them planted. I want them in an area I have surrounded by paver stones.

     It will take a lot more work and cost a bit more money to get the area looking nice, but well worth it in my opinion. Just before I went into work I was able to but two blue birdbaths for this area, and I'm hoping to get bird houses a large variety of flowers, bird feeders, and possible lattice to enclose I little bit, allowing me get another type of climbing plant.

     While I have that planed for this summer, I still have enough room for probably close to ten more roses, if not more. Still thinking about rather or not I want more roses. Along side that I want to work on my orchard, which will probably be more of just trees scattered now. I'm trying to save as much room as I can for more grape vines.

     Just as I wasn't busy enough already, my mom wanted to get more blueberry plants, and strawberries to grow in a raised boxed in area. I was hoping to spend a ton of time outside this summer and it seems I may have gotten my wish. My plans for this summer is to get enough plants that I can spend most of my day outside caring for them every summer. I'm not big on gaming or being on the computer like everyone deems I am.

     Though beehives are still on my mind for this summer, I may go with a different kind of bee instead of the honey bee. This is mostly due to the fact I work a lot and get called in a good amount, and with all these plants, I fear I won't have time to take care of the bees to the extent they need. If I am correct the Mason bee or something like that don't produce honey, but they are one of the best for pollinating, which was the main goal for bees to begin with, the honey would have been a bonus.  

     So far I have spent almost the last three days completely outside which has helped me a bit with my anxiety and depression. Though I would love to get off my medicine and use nature as a therapy, I can't relay on it because of rainy days, or even bad days in general.

     

Backpacking

     I guess you could say another reason I started this blog was so I can work a bit on my grammar as I plan on backpacking. More than likely I will try to do backpack journalism, so I figured since I'm not writing stories as often as I use to, and being the fact journalism is a different style of writing than fantasy,  I figured it would be a good use of my time to basically work on a daily post. Blogging while I'm traveling seems like a perfect use of time while I end the day. 

     Backpacking my not exactly the right word, but I do see myself hiking a lot. It could be that I start off with backpacking, but I only stick to the state I currently live in. After a while I do plan on getting a motorcycle, which in my mind makes for the perfect transportation to travel with. Though hiking throughout the worlds jungles may seem fun and all, I don't think with my current state of mind I will be able to stand walking. I would feel trapped and like I don't have anywhere to go if my claustrophobic mind tells me there is no escape, even though I'm free to go just about wherever I want. 

     My though's and reasoning to why I want to travel is so I can of course blog. I love taking pictures, and I suppose with my current camera, though it is really good, I will still need something better. However I will be traveling a bit this year when I have time off from work. Rather it on bike, or with my uncle, I hope to have several thousand more photos up on my photography blog if I don't decide to start a different blog for my travels, or if I just decide to change the blog up some. 

     I love using blogger, but there are some things I wished I could do but just can't. I might be able to if I messed with the coding a bit, but I'm not ready to do anything fancy yet. With photography I don't typically like writing anything for it. I have over 500 picture up on my nature blog with no description. Which is alright for the pictures being local, since I plan on traveling a description of at least where I feel would be nice. The kind of website I would be interested in would be something that allows pages inside of pages. Bloggers pages don't remove the post from the home page and to me makes the blog seems very unorganized. 

     With the Possiblity of a new photography blog, I will also add some of the pictures I take to my journalism blog I will be making once the journey begins. As much as I love plants and just nature in general, I should have lots to say over the sites I see.    

     I apologize is this post seems a little scattered I'm not feeling the greatest and I didn't get much sleep last night due to not only insomnia but my sister decided she would be a but noisy.
