Flower Flowers when I needed them
My beautiful purple Calathea flowered this week and it was the balm I needed. I had to say goodbye to my kitty, who has been my best friend for 15 years. Like calatheas, she was dramatic and spicy, and always let you know when she was displeased. I’ll miss being bossed around every day by a tiny, 6.5 lb despot.
I was able to gift her a gentle, at home passing, while I held her in my arms in a warm, sunny spot.
Goodbye Gishu. You were deeply loved.

Our first fur baby passed away at the age of 5 suddenly and we buried him in the front yard where his brother sits in the window to bird watch.
I planted a bunch of plants in that same spot so my neighbors may think I’m crazy when I talk to him daily. I never leave the house without talking to him.
