Plants. They make sterile spaces fertile and alive. They make breathing easier. Smell a flower, and be healed. They're just all around good looking. Green is my favorite color I think. Or blue. I've always been a fan of a good deep purple too though. Oh, colors! Oh, plants! I love them all.
My bamboo has been heading downhill for quite a while now. I thought it would enjoy being outside more than inside, so one day I set it on the balcony, and there was a ton of rain over the course of the following few days, and I think all that water may have rotted its roots, because all its leaves turned completely white. Hardly any chlorophyll left whatsoever. So this afternoon I gave it a good tilling, trimming and a nutritional lunch of coffee grinds. I also cut some really good smelling lavender flowers off their stalks and stuck them in a ceramic bowl for who knows what. And I gave my new rosemary some water and attention. Better go do the same for the Spanish grass outside, eek! It's getting a little yellow. I think it's natural for that to happen to them in the summer though.
Hmm... paint. I need some paint. Drawing with graphite is all well and good for a while, but it's time to put some color into my art experiments.
Hmm... It's Wednesday. I finally remembered to wear my "business time" shirt on the right day. So proud.
Also, Michael left today. His family came and picked him up after coming down from Oregon. Hopefully he'll be back soon to move in with Justin. And hopefully Justin will find a place to move into soon. Whatever happens, it's nice to have one or two friends up here to give Reece and I a reason to be more
