fred

this weekend was filled with some of my favorite things. yoga. coffee. rain, honest to goodness rain, not just mist. knitting books. wine. brunch with friends. a john wayne movie. and i got sweet, sweet plant. meet fred.

fred is a snake plant, or mother-in-laws tongue. i got him at swanson's nursery. i'm really exicted about him. he is supposed to be impossible to kill. we'll see. i'm hoping to start cultivating a green thumb. i would like to someday have a vegetable garden, but i'm working towards this goal slowly. the last plant i got was 4 years ago, with no research invested. after it became apparent that it was going to die, aaron decided to spray paint it copper and call it art.

someone once thought we got it at ikea. which is probably the best compliment one could hope to get from a spray painted, dead tree. i hope fred has a longer, happier life.
