DRAT and HOORAY

Turning the Page
April

An Angolan Giraffe from Northern Nambia, Africa- compliments of the World Wildlife Fund. Gone are the Blue Footed Booby couple who accompanied me through March. She/He adorns the April page of the calendar that hangs right in back of my laptop.
(I have three different calendars)

"Dumbo"
Tim Burton
"It’s a tale of misfits, with Dumbo as the ultimate outsider, fighting not to belong to but escape from a society that dismisses them as freaks. Burton didn’t need Hollywood glitz and so-called human interest to get that point across. Only when the film moves past the audience pandering, does Dumbo cut loose and soar."

We laughed, cried, held our breath and gasped
It was an absolute therapeutic experience

Wednesday
Seemed to Evaporate
It happens


Thursday
Five neighborhood errands Done in only three hours,
AND
The battered orchid sprouted a new leaf from it's center!
It started out beautifully when I rescued it
 
Then
It deteriorated and leaves split.
Consulted a site and followed protocol:
Knock all the old soil off, cut dead roots,

Hydrate for a week so far and may re-pot soon

For the Earth
Portucaria-afra Cuttings
Deanna Cohen had cuttings that successfully rooted and so she generously sent me some from the source
It is capable of either C3 or CAM carbon fixation, depending on factors such as the season and the age of the leaves.
