You hunt Me plant!

Spring is here! This is what I was greeted by when I walked to campus today. A gorgeous purple tree in full bloom! I have no idea what kind of tree it is, but it's pretty and it makes me happy!

I don't know what happens with human-beings in Spring time, but what happens to me and Ramzi is clear: we hunt and grow our own food. It started some time this week with Ramzi bringing home a bunch of Rhubarbs (see pic above) for me to make pie of (he loves Rhubarb pie), after that event it's been one thing after the other. Take today for example. I went to Lowe's Home and Garden and Ramzi went scuba diving with the aim of hunting fish. 

I spent about 40 minutes at Lowes and loved every single one of them, the bounty is on display below...

I got two kinds of tomato plants (one red and one yellow), string beans, snap peas, okra, cucumber, basil, cantaloupe, and some flowers. Then I spent four hours (!) digging, planting, watering my garden plot, and I built a thing for the beans and peas to climb on. It wasn't until the sun set that I had to pack up my tools and call it a day. 

Meanwhile, Ramzi and Mazen were diving in Laguna Beach and about the same time I finished in the garden, my man with very strong hunting needs :), brought home four fish that he speared during their dive. The result was one meal of "Skeppar Stromming" for Mazen, but instead of Stromming we used the Rock Fish.

Now, I'm beat, my muscles are tired, and my head is heavy after being out for so many hours (it's uncommon for a computer scientist...), just one more thing to do tonight... and what that is I will let you know later :)
