My Leaf Also Shall not Wither

Not This Time, Anyway

I survived plant-shopping with my sister. And I came home with a nice dragon fruit cactus. I have been wanting one of these. The fruit’s flesh is sort of like a kiwi. Most have white or magenta flesh, and the flavor varies depending on the variety.

The nice thing about these is that as they grow, you can break off pieces of them and plant them.

I carved a pup (new plant sprout) off one of my Orinoco banana trees the other day and planted it. I thought I had destroyed it, but two days later, it looks great. Figure once I have three of each variety going, I will be able to count on a fairly steady supply of bananas and plantains.

I am truly pooped. Must go beat Marv.

    Steve,

    Isn’t amazing how good it feels to really forgive someone?

    Just keep temptation out of her path, too. (For the weak, I became weak…)

    And Mazel Tov, or whatever the goyim are supposed to say on our Yom Kippur…

    It’s so exciting that you spent time with your sister! God is truly amazing. I had someone apologize to me today that I never dreamed would do so. I guess that prayer thing works…

    Progress is inevitably going to be slow and uneven with sis. Patience is the key.
