Smoothies and Swimming!

jhameiaWell actually there was no real swimming because the pool was too cold. Anyway, E came over yesterday and we made smoothies in my big blender. The recipe said one cup yogurt, and so I stuck that in, but I don't think I've ever use yogurt as a base anymore because holy crap, that was a super-filling smoothie! It was also my first time buying berries: black, rasp and straw ones. The color really dominates everything else! Usually I see orange but yesterday and today my smoothies have a light pink/purple hue to it.
After that E and I hung out in the pool and found one of the hot tubs had a jacuzzi jet going but no heat, so we hung out in it for a while. Then we went to the UCR Community Garden to check their event out, and it was fun! There was a lovely lady there who was hosting the vermicomposting table. She's part of the UUCR too! So she gave me her email in case I want to get in touch with her for more worms, which I definitely do.
But wow, after dinner, when I got home, it was maybe 7.30? And I just about passed out until like 9 or so. And then I tired-reblogged stuff from the following tags: tapir, sewing, garden, gardening, urban gardening, guerilla gardening, victory garden
I am especially fond of this find in the tag: someone painting milk bottles and setting them up with plants around the city. I hate the fact that my compound doesn't have a recycling program (just one for mixed paper, and that's right at the postbox since we get so much flyers) and since I don't have a car, I can't take my bottles out for recycling regularly. But re-using them for plants is a much better idea! And painting them so they become more attractive... I smell a summer project in the air. I guess I better invest in a drill.
I've also been learning about seedbombing and how guerrilla gardeners have been using them. The reclamation of space, however small, really makes a difference. I may try to persuade my dad to do some of it with me when I next go home. He's had some luck with random gardening in the new house so he might be down for some public gardening.
Anyway, I have new pictures of my garden up on my Tumblr if you're interested.
