While I was camping last week, the rain poured down along with thunder and lightening. As Tylor and I were stuck in the cabin during the storm, it reminded me of the fall here in Washington. Then today, I cooked garlic in spaghetti and the scent reminded me of home.
Fall at home meant I was curled up next to the fire, watching the rain and the wind outside blow down auburn leaves, while I ate some home made dinner that smelled delicious. All these memories and scents are getting me excited for fall!
Fall always means new beginnings in school and church. This year, I am excited to start up leading in a ministry and helping in fall church events. I guess I like the cooler weather because it brings people inside together to get warm and cozy. Much like my husband had to stay close during camping to keep from getting cold.
Although this summer has been fun, I am ready for fall all it has to bring. Are you?

Free Stuff and Plants
This month has been pretty quiet so I am bored naturally, but I have been turned on to Craigslist and Facebook Groups where I can get free things! At first I wanted to adopt every pet I saw online, but you can't do that when you live in an apartment. I did find an amazing couch for free though! There is only so many pieces of furniture you can fit into an apartment as well, so what can I hoard you may ask? Plants!
My first plant that is still alive, might I add, is a hanging flower basket that is a piece of work to keep happy. I've been feeding it coffee grounds, water and I even added potting soil since it's been around for a while. The flowers are sometimes open and beautiful, other times closed or dead. The plant really is very temperamental.
My low maintenance plant that I just got last week is my new snapdragons. I bought three, put some cover with them in a new pot. The flowers haven't sagged or turned colors yet. I am hoping to keep it healthy and happy.
Knowledge So Far
You have to dead head flowers that die so they can reseed and bloom again. Coffee grounds are good, but in moderation. Egg shells blended are good. Epsom salt twice a month can be good too!
My hanging basket is still yellow in certain spots, so I am looking for ways to nourish it. I rotate it so it can get plenty of sun. If you have any ideas, let me know!
Anyways, that is what I have been interested in lately, finding free plants online and expanding my garden.
