driving your lawn

Now this excites me, and makes me want to go plant moss all over my 15 passenger van. Im guessing the kids would NOT want to be seen with me in it, so until they are grown I won't... If I can control these strong urges to do something this awesomely insane.

The Nautilus: An Organic Habitat by Javier Senosiain



This fascinating structure was designed and developed by organic architect Javier Senosiain. The Nautilus home was built in Naucalpan, Mexico almost three years ago in 2006. As one can imagine, there were quite a few issues with this type of design. The structure had to undergo numerous changes before the right measurements to safely begin construction were found.

The interior of the structure was designed to create a sense of harmony and flow as one travels through the rooms in the home. The ground floor room is a sitting area surrounded by different types of flora. The rooms become more private as one ascends the spiral staircase. The designer intended to give one the impression of floating over the vegetation on the lower ground floor.

I do believe Mr. Senosiain accomplished his goal. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw images of this home. I think I’ve found my dream home. I’ve always wanted an indoor garden like this. There are simply so many things Mr. Senosiain has gotten right for me with this design. I truly adore The Nautilus home. The only thing I would change is the size. The structure seems to be mansions size, and I would love something like this in a “tiny home” version. I don’t know if it is even possible, but I have a starting point.

How the months of the year got their names




Ever wonder how the months got their names? I did so I found out and I thought I'd share it with you guys.


January--named for the God Janus
February--month of Februa
March--named for the God Mars
April--month of Aphrodite
May--month of Maia
June--named for the God Juno
July--named for Julius Caesar
August--Augustus Caesar
September--the seventh month
October--the eighth month
November--the ninth month
December--the tenth month


If you were renaming the months what would you name them?
