miss sara bara: Grape Crush is My Favorite...

... But I've got some other major crushes developing at the moment. Care to read about em?

1. the Clothesline. One of the big selling points of this house was the fact that it came with built-in poles for a clothesline in the backyard. A few weeks ago, Patrick helped me put together the line part, and I believe it to be very cute indeed.

2. Our ever-growing VHS collection. Lately there has been a resurgence of VHS tape collecting in my house. I always see so many amazing movies at the local thrift stores and finally decided to give in and start buying the ones I am dying to see/see again. Here are some of the more recent gems.

3. The Avocado Seeds - After preparing the delicious avocado enchiladas I gushed over the other day, I decided to try an experiment I saw in Plant Parenthood where you stick a few toothpicks into an avocado seed, set it in a cup of water, and wait for it to sprout. Reminds me of the time we germinated lima beans in the 2nd grade. If you play your cards right, you might just be the recipient of one of these little babies when they are big enough to pot. :D

4. Leucocoprinus birnbaumii (aka the mushrooms growing in one of my house plants.) I noticed these popped up after the move. Google tells me they are harmless and nearly impossible to get rid of, so I'm just going to let them grow for now. Aren't they weird?
