Plant Updates (Plupdates) and Normal Updates (Nupdates)

I got another plant.

How many is this by now? I've lost count. I have a fair amount of herbs, but now I have to deal with a yucca cane up in my business even though I will be moving by November into me and Alex's new home. For your information, her name is Rita, but said in a posh English way. Thankfully she's low maintenance. I'll take a picture tomorrow or Thursday, whichever happens sooner.

Pablito (poinsettia) had to get ANOTHER quarantine haircut because of a whitefly infestation; everyone is vaccinated now, I aggressively treated the problem and they have been gone for a week. Pablito looks like sad sticks but he is rejuvenating with a few little leaves...

I went to that funeral home up north from a few posts back and had a delightful day with them helping out, most importantly there was mariachi at the funeral and I was ready to turn the hell up to it. I mean. If there wasn't a large grieving family there.

To all my penpals: I got your letters, they are beautiful and I love them. I'm going to a ranch in Corpus Christi (!) Friday - Sunday, so I probably won't get a response out for a minute but I'm planning my responses carefully. The cards are currently displayed on top of my TV by my creepy porcelain animals. Joy!

Poor Pablito, having to get another quarantine cut. But I'm glad you were able to deal with the white fly infestation. And yay for new plant babies!

A mariachi band at a funeral would be lovely.

I'm glad you got your return letters. :D Have fun in Corpus Christi!

Yes, I got everyone "vaccinated" by aggressively spraying them all with anti whitefly spray. And yes, the mariachi was fun! They are pretty common here, with having such a high Latino population.

Thanks!
