New found View of Utah County

On our search today for letterboxes, I decided I wanted to check out some of the campgrounds in the Provo Canyon. So we took off on a road to "Squaw Peak" But the road to the campground was closed. But we got to see an AMAZING  view! We have a storm rolling in, and the clouds were amazing looking. We got really high up! 

Look at those mountains! 

Utah county. Look at those clouds!

We certainly enjoyed our weekend together. After a Saturday of doing dreadful homework it was nice to get out of the house, get some fresh air and enjoy a beautiful view!

Bridal Veil Falls

Trevor and I went looking for a letterbox at Bridal Veil falls, but they recently had an avalanche and it was an older letter box, so we didn't find it, but it was still an amazing hike! We actually climed right up to the base of it. Some parts of the hike were a little sketchy, the avalanche happened this winter, so parts of the trail had been wiped out. 

The whole falls from where we parked. It's gotten a lot of water flowing since last time we were here!

Me and my Redhead!

It was cool to feel the mist off the waterfall!

We were really high up, this is the view across from where we were at!

Letter Boxing in Provo Canyon!

Trevor and I have decided to get into Letterboxing. There are a lot of letterboxes in Utah county. We decided to get a stamp and booklet today and go find some. We found Warrior Chief in Canyon Glen Park. It was super fun to find. Trevor and I had been really super close to it a few weeks ago, but we weren't looking, nor did we know one was there! 

Our stamp is the fox. The eagle is Warrior Chief's. It was a hand made stamp. Pretty cool!

Trevor signed Warrior Chief's book. They must have just gotten a new book, we were the first and only stamps in there.

It was a blast. We are going to keep doing it on the weekends!

My Growing Garden!

I know it's been awhile since I updated the blog about my little garden i have growing. I'm pleased to say it's undergone some extensive changes! I now have a pallet garden and everything is out of cans! (well, except for like...two). I've introduced a pallet into my garden (THANKS DAD!). I've transplanted a bunch and I'm pleased to say that they are all doing well. 

I've been so impressed at how plants have the ability to rebound after something so life changing for these little plants. Their roots don't leave the cans intact, but they regrow and survive! 

My pallet garden. I have quite a bit in there. 

Here is my broccoli (top row), and my mustard spinach (bottom row).

My lettuce (on bottom) and lavender (on top)

I'm quite proud of my basil (on bottom) and my jalapenos (on top). I don't know what we're going to do with all the jalapenos. 

I purchased a sweet mint plant, because I couldn't find seeds. So that's what the big plant is. Then I have some little spearmint plants next to it.

Both my cilantro and dill had outgrown their cans. They are loving the space in the pallet garden. 

My peppers plants. Sorry for the shadow

This is my 3 sisters pot. (Corn, garden beans, and squash). They are all doing quite well! 

You can't see how deep this container is, but it's pretty deep. I've planted some beets in here for fun. We'll see what happens!

I gotta say, this has been super fun to grow green onions. We harvest from it a few times a week. 

Tomatoes 

More tomatoes...

Even more tomatoes...

Theses re cucumber plants. 

I purchased this strawberry plant at Smith's. It's quite a lovely, healthy plant. There are strawberries growing on it!

*Sigh* these are my plants I'm trying to figure out what to do with. I have cucumbers, garlic, beans, celery, and corn.

These are my bean plants. I have peas and snap peas growing in here. We'll see what happens. They had all outgrown their little cans. 

See! Strawberries!!!
