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…
although several big plants… in this one
GS#1, Grandma on right and group leader on left… (leader is there to make sure we get where and when.. )
pointing at plants and things of interest? or maybe HEY that is the sun we haven’t seen in weeks…?
hey, I thought this flower was pretty…
Next project was to take three plants (ore more), put dirt in a pot, add the plants (properly) and decorate with??? gnomes, fairies, or ? and houses and bugs, and rocks… fences etc.… ok… we got a gnome, his house a hose for the cricket, a sign and then…
A satellite antennas in the front… kids of technology…
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…
Called for his group (Plants and People)… had a lot of kids in something like 13 group graduating…
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…
All this between laughing and playing and ??? I think he is already learning how to push for his way… ha! He has the faces for it…
