random thoughts

Because I believe it is important to grow and learn - some days I do not recognize myself as I pass through different thoughts

Sometimes plumbing is your friend and sometimes it is just crap!

I read through the Farmer's Almanac for March and saw the word snow as many times as I did in February. I was not amused.

Sometimes putting yourself in "time out" is all you need to relieve the stress of a crappy week.

I am making friends with a very untrusting Bitty cat. Even comes out for petting now. I am amazed.

Night in Rodanthe was a good movie to watch on a cold night.

Pilates surely mixes it up. I am sure tomorrow I am going to be sorry I mixed it up!

I repotted the Bay Leaf Plant today. I originally dug it out of the garden one cold day last October. I guess it barerooted itself because today when I took it out of the pot, half of the soil was gone. So after I potted it and watered it, the leaves actually look green. Guess that plants like humans need to be well grounded in order to grow and thrive.
I looked at those bare roots for quite a while in amazement that from October until February the only thing that kept that plant alive was the fact that I watered it regularly. I trimmed it back because I thought it did not like living in the house - what it needed was soil. Lesson learned - if something is not thriving - look at its roots to see if it is connected to the terra firma!
The whole time I heard my daughter tell of a friend that had a huge Bay Leaf Plant. I was feeling like a failure. What I failed to do was provide dirt for its toes!

I have my herb and garden order ready. Tomorrow I will do my small part in helping boost the economy...

I like random.
