The big plant and graduation…

I am slow, I know but Friday we went through “finals” and graduation and everyone was a bit tired…

Up early to get to breakfast and then to first class… went to the “teaching” greenhouses on campus so it was a short walk… they first went over a few things… and … got their first exercise… make a grass-sprouting worm?

In a knee-high sock, put some grass seed, some dirt, knot, and do it again twice more then glue eyes on it … when you get home water it… hum…

then out to see the greenhouses and THE BIG PLANT…

GS#1 with DR. Shelly Mitchell… I don’t remember any professors like that when I was in school but? 

When the class was over they took a group photo with the plant project… and then we headed back to the dorm to rest a bit then over for lunch… … We had a long wait from about 11:30 till 1:45 to get to graduation… spent some time in the union shopping (since it was discount weekend)… and then off to graduate…

SAM_2635

Called for his group (Plants and People)… had a lot of kids in something like 13 group graduating…

SAM_2638

Very hard to get a real picture with them being in a big hurry, not much light or wrong light and … oh well, he is up there …will be professional pictures later for sale… as usual.

GS#2 (Little bro)… was happy through the whole thing till near the end… and he can really make sad faces… I think from watching that a lot of it is for show… more than hurt feeling… although he is battling a cold and double ear infections this weekend… so he was not at his best…

This morning as they were getting ready to go and he was being forced to eat a bit of breakfast and no phone with buttons to play with… he put on some more faces…
