My Container Garden

I spent my Saturday planing my container gardening. This new house had like 20 pots! 
So, in my little container garden I have
(4) Tomato plants
(4) gypsy pepper plants
(1) banana pepper plant
(2) strawberry plants
(2) red onion plants
(3) different kinds of basil 
(1) pot of sage
(1) pot of rosemary
(1) pot of cilantro
(1) pot of chives
(1) orange mint plant
(1) pot of mint
(1) pot of dill
and 2 flower pots in the front of the house. 
Pretty awesome! Way worth it. And the best part is. Alma 32. If I have faith it will grow. :)

Another Adventure- Malad Gorge.

So, back in March, Dad and I were once again on one of our trips up to Boise. This roadside adventure was to Malad Gorge. WOW. It's just right off the interstate, in fact, the interstate goes right over it. Dad took me into the state park and there was a big metal bridge- I wish I got a picture of it. But we walked onto the bridge and we beheld quite a site. Now, when we were there, the water levels were low. But man, that baby roared.

This is the canyon. Intense, huh?

So, this is the waterfall. Kinda hard to see. At the top of the picture, that's the interstate, it really does go right over it. It's a narrow canyon but the falls, which goes right under the bridge, is intense. Dad and I held onto the rail. I hate heights. I could hardly look over the railing.

A wider look down the canyon.

Fairfield...a whole lot of nothing.

In my last post, I showed ya'll Little City of the Rocks, well, that was on our way to Fairfield. See, we have a tower in Fairfield. So I'm expecting a town, kind of like Sun Valley. It's up in the mountains and not to far away from Sun Valley, and the name Fairfield- to me- makes me assume that it's a resort town...maybe for the rich. WELL, Dad said "I'm interested to see what you think of Fairfield." Right before we went around the bend on the mountain. 

All I had to say was... "Wow."

There is a whole lot of nothing.....Not even a main town, or a cluster of buildings...They have about the population size of Declo, and the land size of the Salt Lake Valley. That's how big the land was, and how few the people. Ok, ok, they had main street, with a like 5 buildings on it. No joke. I was so surprised. It's a happy little valley where the people live simple lives. 

For those who play Civ, It's not a city, or a town, or a village, it's a hamlet that has taken much longer than 10 turns to turn into something. The only road that was paved is the state highway and main street. That surprised me! Anyway, out of all the surprises this little town had for me, i will give them this. They have a great burger joint. 

Dad and I stopped in at the Wranglers there on Main Street. OMG. Best burger ever. Fell right apart in your mouth. Filled you up, major. And the onion rings...well lets just say the drive was worth the onion rings. Ya, that good. Well, we carb loaded and were on the road again to Boise! 

Dad and I's Epic ADVENTURE! Little City of the Rocks

For my job, I have to send equipment up to Boise on a weekly basis. Dad and I almost always go together, and most weeks- we usually have ourselves an adventure. Well, on Wednesday we had a great adventure. I'm glad that on the spur of the moment, I grabbed my camera for the trip! 

Dad decided that we had enough time and that he'd take me through Fairfield on our way to Boise.(With intentions to "tower spot".) Well, before we hit Fairfield, we ran into Little City of the Rocks. I've never been to (the bigger) City of the Rocks. (Gasp, I know.) So, we drove up a nice dirt road, and low and behold....we had an adventure!

Wow! What the heck are those things? Yes, those are rocks in the oddest of formations. I sure do love to live in such a beautiful place. God has given us so many beautiful creations to enjoy. This is truly something spectacular to see. We may live in a desert, but as we drove, I realized that it would be weird to live in a place where lava rocks were non-existent, and yes- even the sage brush (which smells good after the rain.) 

Well, we continued our drive closer. 

That's a nice boulder. 

Well, we got closer and the road ended. Dad and I got out to explore. 

There was an old dam that was build by hand...who knows when. It was really neat to see.

We strayed from the car...maybe a tad bit. At least onto the other side of the dam

I had to include this picture because I liked the reflection in the water.

This was behind the dam, the road continued, but it was gated, so we couldn't pass. Dad said it use to be a reservoir. 

Without fail, when Dad and I go on adventures, I am always wearing practical footwear. On this adventure, I was sporting my brand new flats. 

Dad, taking the road back to the truck. 

Me and my Dad. :)
