Guitars and Things

Hola! Last week I woke up every morning at 7 to work in our front yard. I went up against killer wasps, freaky red spiders, and biting rose bushes. I was so happy when Friday rolled around, because I thought I was done! But, alas, no. I realized that the flower bed by our front door was not done! So this morning, I got up and finished it! Now I'm all finished with the front! I get to start on the back now. I'm trying to summon the motivation to do that. :D
Today Caleb came over for his first guitar lesson! He brought over his 12 string. It took us forever and a day to tune it because the top strings would always go out of tune by the time we got to the bottom ones. :D But finally we got it worked out, and we began. At that point we realized that a 12 string guitar is pretty much impossible to play. So instead, we just went right to the 6 string guitar. I tried to teach well, but of course, I'm not exactly what you'd call certified. I had a little packet thing kind of printed out, and I hope that helped, but only time will tell. He's going to practice, and then he's going to get back to me and let me know when he wants another lesson. :D
I now have a blog that my photography will be showcased on. Here's the address if you haven't seen it. It's also on my Facebook beneath my profile picture. :)
