21 April 2023……this world is stupid if you don’t look away.

What is your thoughts. 

WHY do people think they can’t love someone they disagree with. 

I wear fingernail polish. Does that make me unlovable. 


Now more important thoughts. 

My plants.

 Lemon tree. (Lemon drop). Half lemon half kumquat. 


I have been sitting here looking at my lemon tree. I finally got it repotted. I got past blooming and now tiny little lemons are starting to grow. 


The palms


They were volunteer. I bought some soil for a tomato plant, and the soil was based on coconut/palm trees. They got bitten by the cold at Christmas time, but they are coming back strong. 


Citronella 


My mom gave me this one because she was moving back to Utah. It’s a tough plant. It was killed by frost and cold the past three years. But it comes back. I had some wonderful people from church help me repot it so hopefully we are good for at least three more years.

 

Avocado


After my moms husband died I wanted my children to honor him. This is the Grandpa Larry tree. Grandpa Larry loves avocados. The cold last Christmas time froze the leaves off, but it’s coming back with vengeance. 


Maple 


This is one of the impulse buys I have allowed myself to make. Walmart can have very cool stuff sometimes. 


Catnip and chives


The catnip has really taken over. The chives we don’t know how to use properly.  My cat loves the catnip. But I have been told it can have a drug like effect on cats.  


Grapefruit


We started six seeds. We got four. Who knows what will happen. 


Potato (I think)


It started growing so my wife start watering it. Then I put the tomato cage around it because it was falling over. 


Peppers



these should be mini bells. We started with 5. Two died. So we will see what happens. It’s been sending out lots of flowers and growing a lot. 


Then I have three other pots that are just sitting and waiting at the moment 

My marvelous wife keeps things watered nicely. I can do it but it is a very slow process by myself. 

So. I love to sit outside with my plants. Watching them grow day by day can help me have a more realistic view of how life goes.
