Boxing and Flowers

   New hobby... boxing! Our brother house last year bought a punching bag and never used it. A couple girls in our house recently discovered this and we have been vigorously reading our books about boxing (no joke... we actually have them) and working out daily with a little karate on the side (lovingly taught to us by our house mate Audrey). It is SO much fun and i love punching the heck out of the bag with the GINORMOUS gloves they have.
p.s.
   our brother house use to be a meth house so the basement and garage walls are covered with old 1970 carpet samples. I'm kind of afraid that if i touch them im going to get meth on my hands and become addicted.

   On a more feminine note, today i went to Manito Park. It's really beautiful and it was the perfect day to go.
After having a three hour "exploring music" class where i had just practiced for an hour how to draw the treble an bass cleft, it was really nice to go out right before sunset in the warm weather and look at the garden. There are three different gardens within the park and they are gorgeous! The rose garden smelled wonderful and i have decided that Dahlias are my new favorite flower along with peonies. (Walking through the park reminded me of the Arboretum at home...)

   God's creation is beautiful!
