Rio Grande River

This is the Rio Grande River which runs through Colorado, New Mexico and is the border of Texas and Mexico. The river makes its way into the Gulf of Mexico. The Rio Grande is the 5th longest river in the United States and the 20th longest river in the world. Dams have been created for irrigation, to control the river and to prevent overflow. In Albuquerque, it is clear to see when the dam is open and when it is closed. A lot of water has been lost and in Albuquerque the locals joke around and call it "Rio Chico" because there is hardly any water at one point in the city.

Mr. Tomato Head.......is dead

I decided that I wanted to name my plant Mr. Tomato Head because I feel like it fits him better. Because he wasn't getting a lot of sun, I thought that since he doesn't get a lot of sunlight in my room, that I would put him in my car. It worked for a couple of days because I didn't leave him there for a long time, but unfortunately I left him in for too long today and when I went to get him, he was withered. I took him out and put him back in my room. He didn't make it....I found the perfect name for him and then he died. R.I.P Mr. Tomato Head!!!
