I had a derby practice this morning. We did jumping drills for 2 hours. It was fun, but also a little tricky. After I got home and got cleaned up we went out for a little 2+ mile walk and ended up walking to get Jamba Juice. After spending a few hours home just chilling out, we decided to walk to the Food Truck Social that was going on a little north of us. So another 3-ish miles in the evening. It was a good calorie burning day. It was so beautiful out that we had to get out and enjoy it. We won't have many of these days left.
I promise, this one is funny. I was walking two friends back from a party, they had both been drinking and this was after I had began my sobriety. About 2:30 AM, we had left said party. While on a path behind Worthen Arena, I decided that it was a good idea to give my friend Kristyn a piggy-back ride. I made the terrible mistake of thinking it would be a grand idea to run with her on my back. Not so much. Four steps later I land face first in the sidewalk. I could literally feel a chunk of sidewalk in my forehead. An emergency room visit, two hours, and three stitches later we finally went home.
The Abkhazi Garden is an exquisite heritage home and garden located in Victoria, British Columbia, a city known for its wonderful gardens. Prince and Princess Abkhazi began creating their garden in 1946. This was the year they married and settled in Victoria, after living separate lives touched by both privilege and tragedy. They immediately began to develop their one-acre property, and continued to maintain and improve the garden throughout their lives together.
The garden is very discreet from the street, with only hints of what exists beyond the hornbeam hedge. What the visitor does find is a garden that embraces a natural landscape that is unique to Victoria. The garden is blessed with dramatic glaciated rocky slopes, magnificent native Garry oaks and gorgeous vistas. The garden is designed to make the most of these remarkable features and it is the Abkhazis’ response to their landscape that qualifies it as a stunning example of West Coast design. The garden flows around the rock, taking advantage of deeper pockets of soil for conifers, Japanese maples and rhododendrons which over the last 50 years have grown to an impressive maturity. Carpets of naturalized bulbs, choice alpines and woodland companions provide interest throughout the year to the discerning plantsman, but it is the overall design that leaves the greatest impression.
The Abkhazis worked together on their creation for over 40 years, referring to it as “their child”. After their deaths the Garden changed hands, and in February 2000, The Land Conservancy purchased the property to save it from becoming a townhouse development. TLC currently holds a mortgage for $865,000 on Abkhazi Garden. -TLC
