Things you learn from your Mom…

The other day I found myself totet­ing all of my plants back to the shower.  Ijah fol­lowed with looks and noises that could eas­ily be trans­lated as “what are you doing…weirdo”.  I’d been mean­ing to shower the plants for weeks.  The looked dusty and sad.  They didnt have that perky plant look that I love, and the smell was all wrong.

I let them soak for awhile, know­ing I was over water­ing but that in the end they would thank me.  I dragged them back to their homes, sprin­kling water every­where, leav­ing a tiny trail of mud, and got them all back into place.  Being in an apart­ment some­times you take the hard way of doing things.  No yard means no throw­ing them out in the rain.

They seemed much bet­ter, so much hap­pier, smelling good, giv­ing off oxy­gen.  I wiped up the water, washed the mud out of the tub and told Ijah we needed to do that once in while.

I’m sure I’m not the only per­son to shower my plants.  And I wont be the last either, because I think Ijah is like me, and that cer­tain things will stick even when he’s not think­ing about them.

Thanks Mom.  My plants thank you too.
