the green thumb stops here

I do not have a green thumb.  I can hardly keep Burt my poor cactus alive, and I killed Alice my beloved, but weak aloe vera plant.  My mother on the other hand... she is practically a professional.  It is the one domestic skill I cannot do. 

These remind me of cupcakes.  Delectable, frosting covered cupcakes.  Maybe I'm just hungry...

So aside from having ugly bunions, my tootsies do look pretty good.  I am all about nude-colored nail polish because when it starts to "go" you don't notice it as much.  And my friend Jay would kick my trash if she saw me running around with some crimson, chipped hands/feet.  And thankfully for her I am lucky to have someone who can be a true friend and call me out on looking/acting trifling. 

My step-dad is quite talented with a watering hose.  I got to witness it from behind the tree.

I used to be the same when I was your age! I think it takes having your own garden to actually be bitten by the bug. I used to kill everything I touched where as now I only manage it about 20% of the time!
