The Avocado Seed


The Avocado Seed

I'm wishing that spring would just get here already, AND am happy to not feel terribly guilty for sitting in a cold, dark basement laughing at the likes of Amy Poehler and This American Life when its dark and yuck outside. I'm still trying to navigate my darn Ipod, and wrapping my mind around this podcast stuff.
This is a pic of an avocado seed that Hayley and Robert rescued from the compost pile last fall, and now its busting out of its bud vase. There's not much I love more than a soft, fatty avocado! I'm naively excited at the prospect of pulling it off a tree in our living room. I say naive because I have no idea if this will demand hand pollination (which sounds perverted!).
I haven't had a drop of wine in three weeks and life is just starting NOT to be agonizingly BORING! I am motivated to plan a garden- totally strange but true. Robert is trying to contain his glee. He can hardly imagine a life where someone actually helps with yard work.

I'm finally out of a planning funk and onto San Francisco Family Vacation 2009. Its a mystery why every occasion needs to end with a resounding two thousand ----?!!!! I invite you to sing,"In the year two thousand...' at the top of your lungs!
