~Although I rarely/never ask such things, I'm curious, (and sort of escaping (dillydallying) from writing a paper that NEEDS to be written) if anyone else is obsessed? with plants. Huh. I know. Just, well, sitting here again after taking a 'break' from the paper and watering my plants and realizing how looong it took me. AND how many I have. Sigh, I need one of those coiled hoses that attaches to the kitchen sink so's I can drag that around instead of filling the water jug and that other little plastic bottle up fifty times. Sigh. I've noticed, yes, all of a sudden, that my apartment is crawling with plants, that someone would come over and wonder how they all got here, and although 41 house plants may not seem like a lot, some of them are HUGE and in this apartment it seems they are everywhere. Not to mention the bunches on the porch. Anyone else have this? obsession? It just hit me all of a sudden. Poof. How did they all GET here? - And too, I'm BORED of this paper,...and just wasting time. Ah, phoo. *Peace.

Maybe it is the fresh supply of oxygen that you actually treasure

I am obsessed with plants, if that is what you term "love"--grin. and? I have thought about this, and I think I love them because they respond to me...or at least my nurturing. Think about that a minute--smile. I water, move them to sun, move them OUT of sun, and? they thrive... And? They are beautiful...at night, I light my candles, and the flickers play the shadow leaves, and I put on some groove tunes, and all is right with the world. smiling now, and the cat looks awesome, peering at me through the leaves like that...

The only thing I DON'T like about plants and is that they really don't like being "hugged."

Hi Alicia, I cannot keep a plant happy or alive anywhere near me. I wonder what that means??
Sigh.
Hope the paper worked out.

~Fresh supplies of oxygen are always nice on a pretty tree sparse street like this. So yeah. And K,...they like kisses and whispers, and yes, dancing shadows on the walls and ceiling in the candlelight. The little things eh? And Sandra, I know people the same way,...ha, matter of fact, I often 'rescue' suffering plants from people's houses when I am over visiting and witness their struggle. Perhaps this is how they all got here.
