Patrick Carpenter

Today, we sincerely remember Patrick Carpenter and his life long journey.

Over the past couple of weeks, Patrick has been in a coma. He was found on the streets of St. Louis unconscious. His brain was depleted of oxygen. Patrick suffered massive brain damage, which resulted in going into comatose and frequent siezsures.

Patrick survived a life full of heart ache and tough times. We remember Patrick for his strength and his fearless attitude. We remember Patrick for sitting on the back patio listening to his radio, hanging out with the dogs. We remember Patrick for his epic watchings of the full series of Lord of the Rings, nonstop. We remember Patrick for his sugar intake - pouring gallons of sugar into unknown gatorade jugs for his "fruit punch." We remember Patrick for sleeping inside a tent inside of our abandoned shed. We remember Patrick for his random times of split personality featuring "Patty" with a black hair wig. For the short time we spent with Patrick, we have great memories & we remember him. He did not die alone: we are his family.

Beam Me Up Scotty

Mount Fuji Serissa Bonsai

Finally took grasp of a sick little sucker: "Mr. Toodles." Yes, that is correct, Mr. Toodles is a Mount Fuji Serissa Bonsai Tree that will very soon sprout some super nasty gnarlsbarkley white smitten feathered flowers. They are extremely tiny and dainty. We are very excited. I will post pictures of the mammoth once it displays its dusty wings.

This will be the beast's future home. We must first learn the art of re-potting a bonsai from Master Yoshi. There is no need to be timid, yet aggressively combat this task with genuine care & knowledge.

Now, below are pictures of a completely different Mount Fuji that shows the sick flowers it will produce. These things bring so much joy and life - literally - oxygen.

We need to learn how to keep the leaves smaller. If anyone is a Master Yogi or Yoshi at bonsais then please leave some major feedback - we definitely need the comments of wisdom - the nuggets of growth. I can't wait to learn how to re-pot, styling, air-layering, etc. There are definitely some good youtube videos floaitng around...
