I enjoy sewing and swimming. I have a garden and i like to make pies. I grow spinach, pumpkins, tomatoes, and blackberries. I love to go to any ocean and lake. I have a friend in Baltimore. I go to Ravens games when I visit that friend. I hope you can give us tickets next time. I am a fan of Tom Brady. I am looking forward to the possibility of seeing the game next year. Sometimes I wish I played sports but I do enjoy gardening. I have entered crops into national competitions but have not won on that level. I have won the state competition.
Football's my only hobby. I play linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens. I had 128 tackles last year. I exercise to stay in shape. It's difficult learning all the football plays but I find its worth it. In my last game I sacked the quarterback three times and that made me happy.
I received a new orchid via delivery today. I'm excited for the challenge of it. While orchids are quite beautiful, they are notoriously difficult to care for. I have heard that they orchids quite finicky in their care. Have you crown an orchid before? From your past gardening experience I am sure this new orchid will flourish under your care! I actually never had. Most my gardening is for fruits and veggies, things I can use in cooking. This orchid should look nice though. How's practice been? We are in the off season for NFL, so we aren't running plays right now but we are continuing our exercise regime. I have been spending many days in the gym doing cardio as well as muscle building exercises. Diet is a huge part of our physical fitness as well. I sure wish I could garden as well as you do so that I could supplement my diet with home grown produce. It takes about an hour each day. I imagine your practice schedule is pretty crazy. How do you deal with that? Being a professional athlete, I have the good fortune of not having to balance a seperate career with my football schedule. That helps in terms of time constraints, as I look at the time I spent on my physical fitness and personal care as my time "on the clock". That does make sense. Really cool especially because it's your hobby. It's pretty amazing you're at where you are. I hope your next season is even better than your last! They say when you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life, and that is correct. I have been very fortunate to have the career I do considering how it started as just a hobby I loved as a child. How did you get into gardening? It's just always been a nice thing to do. It doesn't take too long each day and you get to build towards something beautiful in multiple ways. It's very relaxing.  Do you have a favorite crop to grow? I know you like to use your produce in your meal preparation, have you found a favorite recipe? Most vegetables are nice. Tomatoes I have to say are my favorite. They start small and turn into such pretty colors. And you get so many once they get going! They seem like they would be versatile in use as well. So many recipies call for tomatoes, and they can be seasoned in many ways to meet a variety of flavor preferences.
