me & my plantlife.

Now that I have you all in love and up to date with the progress of my healthy growing tree, I have some bad news. My tree is sick :(

As you can see, somebody thinks my tree is not only beautiful, but quite tasty too. The little bugger!!!!

I noticed a few weeks ago, some pieces on the floor... but never has my tree had bugs this bad! To noticably chewing chunks off! You VISCIOUS LITTLE BUG!! That's MY TREE!!

The top new leaves are still in good shape, so soon I need to apparently take some soap & water to them all one by one and get those little invisible buggers off there.

::::

In other brighter, happier, sweeter news, it's been almost 1 year since I've moved into my lovely little place. And as most of you know - I am absolutely in love with it. Honestly, there's hardly a day that goes by that I don't appreciate my little home.

I have got everything on my list. (well, except a parking spot - but it's not that bad) I have a beautiful bright and sunny little place (albeit, almost too sunny when I'm trying to sleep in!), hardwood floors, a deck/backyard with trees (and birds that sound like car alarms... when I'm trying to sleep iN!), laundry, great.great neighbors/landlords. There's a coffee shop close that I love - a park, it's quite, residential and yet close to everything. I mean, seriously - it's awesome.

Oh - and I must not forget that I'm so happy the bathroom isn't a shoebox like most places here in SF.

OK - so anyway, it's been almost a year that I moved in. I remember when I first saw this place, I fell in love.

Outside the living room window, there's a beautiful rose bush below, growing up from the neighbors garden. I walk under it when I come and go... and when it's warm inside, I can open the window and can smell the fragrant fresh roses.



Up my stairs there's also a beautiful bush of flowers (I can't remember what they're called) and right now they're so full and in bloom that they make me smile inside every time I walk by.

I feel like my mother describing the way I love the way plants smell. But it's true I've become very appreciative about our lush green earth and I love that I have a little jungle in my backyard.
