A Tad Root Bound
This is what I found when I was about to pop this little plant in the garden…
…and found it was somewhat root bound. After I found the condition of the plant, I popped it back in the pot. Needed to dig a larger hole.
Hope it likes its new home.
Little Bit of Yellow
Memorial Bowl
Every year on April 11th, I do something to acknowledge my nephew’s date of birth. When my nephew was 17 he had a major surgery. He survived the surgery, but died later that day.
This year feeling a bit done in, perhaps it is partially to do with the past year and the daily COVID news. I recently was fortunate to receive my first Pfizer jab. It is a bit of a relief that I am in the system.
The piece evolved from a celebration to a memorial piece for the loss of nephew, dad, sister, and mother.
Code
The code on the bowl has my nephew’s, dad’s, sister’s, and mom’s DOB and DOD.
