A Short Play about the Ongoing Mystery of Sunlight

Dante: Do you realize you're glowing?  Zephyr: So what? You're glowing, too.   Dante: I guess we're both glowing. 

Zephyr: OMG I guess we are.  Elektra: I think I've proved my point, which is that sometimes it's painful to be smart.

Red Berries in the Florida Sun

I think this tree is what is called a Dahoon or Florida Holly Tree (Ilex cassine).

Get out of my picture, headphone guy.  Self-portrait when I was really tall and exceedingly thin.

Hey Florida Birds: A Short Play

Hey you guys, it's such a beautiful day. Do you want to go in the water?  No, it's too windy.  Let's go warm up the in the sun first, and then you can ask me again in a hour. 

The Ponytail Palm Report

One of the plants I fell in love with during my stint as a professional plant waterer was the ponytail palm.  Later, Stephen bought me one for our first anniversary, and I'm happy to report that it's doing quite well: we basically have the perfect spot for it, where it gets tons of light (via high floor/southern exposure). 
Fortunately, ponytail palms are not poisonous to cats, because Zephyr likes to chew on the ends of the leaves. 

[NOTE TO READERS: I may/may not be able to post for the next few days, as I'm heading south to ponytail palm land (or not exactly, but closer than NYC) to visit my parents, where internet access is spotty at best. See you Monday at the latest!]
