sunshine

Yesterday I got a plant. Well, two plants in one pot.

This is the first lving thing I have bought since arriving here in my adopted city. In my old city I had many plants, most of which I had rescued from places they were not being cared for. In fact I had to leave them behind mostly due to the fact that they essentially filled my car all by themselves - hard to drive across the country with only plants.

But for some reason it has taken me almost four years to take another living thing into my house.

I think this may be significant.

Either way, they're pretty. And somehow my apartment feels even more like home now.
