Our Vacation Casualty


We are back from Bama! But not whole.
Sadly our only plant has taken a serious hit from lack of watering. 
2 weeks of Christmas in Boise + 4 weeks in Alabama in January+ me not remembering to water when home = one sad plant 

Sad Plant

Action Figure Hand, 
which Isaac threw there when a year and a half old! 
I love it, so I cannot move it. 

I blame Matt for this sadness! 
Well, I forgot to tell him to water... so... maybe not his fault?

I love this plant. It has stuck with me and my not-so-green-thumb for the past... um... three years?

I love green. And I seriously miss trees and happy green grasses and woods. This plant was my one connection to my past green life--as in when I lived in Alabama. Now, its no fern (for the life of me I cannot keep those alive out here!) but it is the closest thing I got.

To be honest, I am no fan of the geography of the Inter-Mountain West.  Culturally and socially I have really enjoyed being here, and there would be no other place I would rather live right now... but I could use some trees! Real ones. That grow BIG and can hold my weight when I climb!

 Dogwood trees and happy green moss with a huge old Magnolia tree, pretty much my heaven... 
This is why I decorate our home in Spring Happiness all year round! 

So sad plant, I pray that you will live and be happy.
