Dying Tree

About this time last year, I bought a Target-brand bonsai tree. Over the months, I have come to really like this tree, although I am convinced the Target Company made this 'bonsai tree' from some crazy kinda plant that just doesn't really grow.

A couple of weeks ago, as the weather got nice, I decided to move my plant onto the patio, out into the open with the fresh air and direct sun, and the world able to look at it as it drives along the busy road I live on.

It hasn't taken well to the change and is wilting and turning brown, but I continue to water it everyday and hope for the best.

Around the same time, I started telling people about this blog. I decided it was time to put it out there for the world to see, for I was doing well to keep it interesting talking about the sex life of bonobos among other things. But then something happened - I knew people were reading this, and what's worse, it's my family who's reading this.

It's an on-line version of stage fright and my little blog here is wilting and turning brown as a result. So I realize that I just need to start watering it everyday, and hope for the best.

So I wanted to apologize for starving you the reader. And maybe every now and then I write something good... a real soaker.

The bonobos aren't nearly as interesting as your horticultural talents. Welcome back!
