naturally, a lot has happened since my last post. i will write a couple of short posts so that it is not one GIGANTIC one that everyone gets bored with. general update: i am still working at cafe des amis and really liking it. i get to meet a lot of really neat people from all over the world and there’s live music and its just a unique place. i am also still working at great harvest bread co and loving that as well. the people and products are still wonderful. school is winding down for the semester. have about a month left and then ill be FREE 
to an extent, for the summer at least. to work a lot. and hopefully get some traveling/road tripping in.
lovely petunias. the veins are my favorite part
i also recently ran a 5K with Tigers Against Trafficking, an organization recently started up at LSU to raise awareness about human trafficking. it was a beautiful day and nice run around LSU, and for a great cause. i finished in like 27.5 min or so. running another 5K at the end of this month for Festival internationale… woo hoo 
cant wait.
the new flower/herb garden
i have a summer garden started! there will be a myriad of delicious veggies, hopefully at least! i started quite a few plants from seeds in my makeshift greenhouse aka my utility room. i started jalapenos, corn, cucumbers, basil, artichokes, sugar snap peas, garden green beans, and i think that’s all. then i bought some other hot pepper plants and tomato plants, so.. should have quite the harvest if things go well. it will be kind of nice to actually be here this summer some and be able to tend to it and enjoy the fruit. last summer i left for CO, so never really took care of or ate anything from it. i just love spending a day in the spring sunshine tilling the soil and getting a great workout. its so refreshing and rewarding. i also made a new flower/herb bed. its right by our house and looks much better than the half dead grass that was kinda growing there. i just hope it will get enough sun once the leaves on the surrounding trees come in. guess we will have to see.
Make shift greenhouse
well. that is about it for now. i just took a trip to missouri, but i will make that a separate post.
