Entrance Gate to Joshua's Native Plants

Today I FINALLY got around to checking out this nursery located in the Historic Houston Heights. WOW! What a neat little place... amongst the many unique and beautiful plants are fountains and antiques and folk art stuff. I had a wonderful time browsing around.
I could not resist bringing home a few treasures from the place: some Thai Basil, a small sassafras tree, AND a hybrid thornless blackberry bush :-))
I think I have made a decision about school. How does a Bachelor of Fine Arts (studio) in Painting sound to you? I've always wished I had some formal training. I feel very self-indulgent with my decision. I've always had this feeling that art was not something I should consider a means for making a living, but G keeps insisting I should not think about having to make a living and go with this.
For my minor I'm still trying to decide: visual studies, marketing, or management.

Sassafras tree, eh? You'll have to put up a pic, I'm curious what it looks like :) That sounds like it was a fun place to explore.
Hey, if that decision makes you happy & speaks to your heart I'm all for it and think it's a wonderful idea. I don't think it's self indulgent, but even if it were you deserve a little indulgence for yourself ~ you've earned it.
Maybe I could get my old ass back into school, shake some of the cobwebs out of my mind before I go barmy out here in the woods, lol.
YAYYYYY!!!! MOM! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOUUUU!!!
YAYYYYY!!!! MOM! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOUUUU!!!
I'm Doubly happy for youuuu!!!
It's not indulgent to study in detail that which you are naturally good in and are interested in - it's a wise choice because even in the dull times in that field, your overall interest will make it worth while.
I don't know what fine arts (studio) implies - what is the scope of this study area? I think maybe a combined minor in business/marketing (if you can get your head into it) would be a good pragmatic balance to the art. Good on ya!!!!
Blackberries huh? I love them on my breakfast cereal with icy cold milk!
