Nurture new roots for your future

Coleus

I am not a gardener.  I actually have 2 brown thumbs.   Although this past spring, I made a little effort to clean up my yard and plant a few things.

I read that Coleus were hard to kill which makes them perfect for me.  The price tag and variety at the local garden center made it difficult to bypass.  

As I was watching all if the leaves start to turn brown on the trees, I got the urge to try to bring some of the coleus inside to start new plants.

Here they are, a few pieces from all of the different varieties waiting in water for roots to grow to spend the next 2 seasons inside.  

Maybe we should all take some time to think about how we want to grow and start nurturing the roots of our future selves now!

Someday the new will be old

New Architecture - Elementary School

I went to pick up my roommate’s daughter at her 2nd day of 1st grade today.  This school was built in the last few years with the same name as the school that I attended with the same name in the same location almost 40 years ago.

While I was waiting for him to come out, I was looking at the building and thinking about how people will look at it in 40 years and how it will be and old outdated school.   I wonder about the design choices that were made and how they will reflect the time.

I do this alot when I make decisions.  For example, new dishes, kitchen cabinets, countertops, clothes, furniture, cars, etc.   If you are purchasing something that you expect to last a few years, unless you are intentionally being trendy, think about being neutral or conservative.  

Accessories are the smartest way to be trendy long term.  Pillows, art, curtains, jewelry, etc.  Be bold. Play with color.  Be wild! 

Don’t forget to enjoy your life to the fullest and fly your freak flag!
