My bathroom wall is a little homage to Penine Hart. Things purchased from her. Butterflies from “Richter’s Butterfly Museum east Durham, NY & a photo of upstate NY taken with a Diana Camera by Christine Rodin. |

A crazy lady pots plants. I mean me. |

Bloom of the year. |
Most of these plants came from a German lady named Mary that I met at a garage sale in Studio City next to my acupuncturist. She said the next time I was in the area I should go by her house because she had other plants to sell. A month later, I was in the area lost and turned down a street and there was Mary in front yard working in her yard.
I got out to say hi and I immediately stepped in a bit of dog poo. Mary noticed but didn’t acknowledge it directly. She tore off a bouquet of basil, half for her and half for me saying, “I love basil, it smells so good. People cook with it but I like to just stick it in my shirt pocket to smell it all day or I just stick it up under my nose!”
Recently I have been buying 60’s 70’s pottery so that I can re-pot the succulents at my back door. The current pots by my back door are out of scale and I want to put a stool back there so that I can sit and stare at the sky and drink coffee.
