I wanted to do something totally different for my blog post today, and as I was out in my yard I had an idea…  Miss Narrator and I have a little garden at our little house – tomatoes, peppers, peas, that sort of thing… and I have some apple trees that I like.  I have one tree, a nice little Macintosh tree, that I’ve been tending for around 4 years now.  It’s all organic – we don’t use any chemicals, only natural treatments and fertilizers – and the apples are thick on the trees this year!  They’re still a few weeks from being fully ripe, but I had one today and it was tart, but really tasty!

Growing our own food is fascinating – we don’t grow a lot, of course – we don’t live on a farm or anything – but planting seeds and watching the plants grow, seeing the vegetables and fruits ripen, then picking then when they’re ripe… that’s pretty cool.   Miss Narrator makes pickles and salsa with the fresh veggies and herbs, and yes – she makes an amazing apple pie with the apples from my trees!

I know this wasn’t my typical kind of post, but I think it’s a fun one – something very different from my normal game related posts but it shows other things monsters can me interested in, like gardening and fruit trees and pie…  Oh wait, you already knew about the pie…

While I am primarily a Wizard101 and Pirate101 blogger, I do like playing other games like online games and puzzle games, things like that.  I’ve even done gameplay videos of some of them, like HearthStone – I still have a lot of fun with that one, but I still need to install it on my new laptop.

So I want to add at least a couple other games into my repertoire, now that I’ve got the new computer – all family friendly, of course.  I’ve been thinking of playing LOTRO again, as one example – I have a lifetime account and it REALLY plays well on the new machine.  I know it’s an older game, but I always thought it was really rich and the quests fun and entertaining.  The graphics are nice, too…  What would folks think about that?

And of course – if I start playing LOTRO again, would people be more interested in me starting from scratch, starting off fresh with a brand new character?  Or just start playing with one of my existing?  It doesn’t matter much to me – I haven’t played it actively in probably close to three years, so I’d have to learn it all over again anyway.   Inquiring minds want to know!

It’s so pretty…

I’ve got other ideas brewing…  I really like the ‘Dittos’ Movie Reviews’ idea, still working on that.  Maybe book reviews too – Ditto loves to read.  So what would you like to see?  Games?  Video Blogs?  Ditto jumping rope?
