Fall in to a Garden

This is the time of year when I really hate living in Arizona. I want to experience the true fall. I can enjoy that mornings are cooling off and the beginning of fall, at least an Arizona fall is peeking in. I am trying not to get out my seasonal depression by trying new things. Things that you can't often do during autumn in other locations. A little thing was planting a fall garden. Here are my lettuce sprouts. I am also trying some late pumpkins, which just breaking the seeds. I am also growing strawberries and broccoli. My favorite addition to my yard this fall is my pomegranate brush, especially when I was able to "harvest" the first fruit.

3 photos for day 2. All taken in my backyard.

Day 1

Day 1 of October, Day 1 of photo for a day.
My goal is not to use my iPhone to take photos, but I know that I will do it more than once on Mondays and Thursdays because of class. But Really I need to do a photo a day for the month of October. When accomplished I will have one more thing check off my 25 things to do before I turn 25!

Fishy Obsession

Attempting to escape the heat for a day, we made a trip a couple hours north.

This is just outside of the Tonto Fish Hatchery. I have a weird obession with fish hatcheries. I can't explain why, but I truly enjoy going to them and seeing the fish at each different stage of life. After this trip, I added to my 25 things to do before I turn 25- Visit all 5 fish hatcheries in Arizona. They are really in 4, because 2 are in the same location. Until we find time to do these trips, I will have to enjoy the AZ game and Fish Live Fish Cam!
