Feeling Accomplished!

     Well spent my first day off work after working 10 days in a row to plant a few of my roses took me almost all day, counting the trip to town to get a few bags of soil. All that is left now is to water them. Not only do they need it, but they deserve it... Not a single cut! Well maybe one bit back but no blood.

     Not only did I manage to get this done with my time off, but I also was able to hunt for morel mushrooms today. No luck, on the bright side though I rounded close to thirty more pictures for my nature blog. I'm hoping to start posting in that fairly soon, as I now have probably close to four hundred pictures to share! Just having a difficult time figuring out how I want to share them. I could either post my limited fifty posts a day, or set it up to post a few a day. Either way it is a lot of photos to upload -.-. 

     A few weeks ago I had gotten a new phone, the iPhone 6s. With the phone comes a built in pedometer. I have been trying my best to walk the average amount of steps a day being three to four thousand. Well lets just day I walked enough today to fill in for the past few days I wasn't able to reach that amount. 

     This is only day one of a project that will probably cost me a few paychecks, though well worth it if you asked me. I plan on doing a 10' by 10' square of roses. Once I get that done I plan on doing my orchard which will only be a few trees now instead of however many I was wanting. I used up part of the area for my orchard to do a rose bed. Along side those projects I plan on planting a few more grapevines... now only to figure out where to put my flower bed.

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.
