Thoughts for the day

Fall has certainly arrived. All good.

I have about 6 houseplants that I have had since soon after I moved here about 15 years ago. Over the winter months two decided they had enough and went to plant heaven in the sky. Today I replaced both with a quick trip to Home Depot. One thing I noticed is that the price has gone up substantially since I bought any houseplants. It’s OK because they add beauty to the house and clean the air to boot.

Everyone wants to be normal, but no one wants to be average.
