Remember the avocado pit farm from a few weeks ago? I gave one to my granddaughter, who called me the other day, ecstatic that the thing had grown huge and had sprouted at least eight leaves since last month, when I filled a ricotta cheese container with dirt and gave ot to her.
On the left is my poor, bent over twig. I took a picture of this sad specimen earlier tonight and decided it was too embarrassing to post.
Imagine my surprise when I looked again a few minutes ago and saw that it had decided to stand up straight. Perhaps after a few weeks of reaching for the sun, it decided the ceiling lights were more its speed. Whatver. It looks better - but for how long?
I am leaving on Thursday for 16 days and my husband does not like to water my plants.
On another subject, I have had numerous e-mails asking "where are you?". The truth is, I have been home, dancing as fast as I can. Unpacking, repacking, packing suitcases, packing cartons, putting life on hold to celebrate the Jewish holidays with family; talking to kitchen designers; dealing with assisted living issues, and taking care of business, bills, and broken garbage disposals.
Every morning, the blogarithm alerts arrive in my mailbox. And every morning, I don't have time to read anybody's blog, let alone post to my own. But my fabric is packed, my boxes are shipped, and tomorrow I will clean up the place so people don't think the Collyer Brothers live here. Thursday morning, Judy Langille and I leave for Atlanta. And I promise to blog from there. it will, I hope, be infinitely more interesting than my life during the past 2 weeks.
