Pot Planting?

I thought that I had escaped the world of cheap buys (thinking it was only a Ryan thing at the old store in MS), but not so...I got suckered into buy a whole cart of house plants for $3 on my 2nd night working at my new store! SO, Robert and I loaded up the car and brought the plants home because, well, why not? The thing I didn't think about was the fact that these plants might need a little tender loving care...which amounted to a bunch of re-potting and trimming that needed to be done. Thank God for mom, though-she said I could bring them down to her house and re-pot them there and get dinner to boot! So, I called Heather and we had our first hang out time since Robert and I got here a few weeks ago and it was so much fun! Getting dirty and playing with plants with Heather brought me back to the old days that we spent together at Middle Earth.:) After we dealt with some half-frozen potting soil (which I mostly managed to chip up and use with the help of a coal shovel) and some oddly sized pots that we found in mom's basement we had basically re-potted about 12 plants! Heather took 5 home with her, a few of the plants will go to the Little House with Luke and Katy, a few came home with me, a few will be mom or Nam's...it's just fun to give plants and make them healthy. I Feel like I'm just making the world better by providing house plants to keep the air clean.

It was also a great nig
ht because mom made an awesome dinner for all of us and Luke and Katy gave us a whole concert! I just asked if they would play a couple of songs for Heather since she hasn't heard them yet (completely forgetting that Robert hadn't heard them either) and they ended up using it as a practice session and gave us a whole beautiful set with old songs and new! Maggie Lane was sitting up and moving her hands and her head (mind you, she's only 10 weeks old) and just having such a blast with the music...it was awesome!

It is just so good to be home with mom and Buzz, all my friends, and with Luke and Katy here for a while too...life is good! Oh, and it's 50 degrees today too!

Awesome! It's great to read about your time with family and friends, but hard to accept that it's all occurring in Maine!
We miss you!
