Oh, I do love your family. I want to add it as an extension of mine. My parents and I trade plants. They are an hour and a half inland from me, so we often have monthly trades of many plants at once. I so dislike the big box hardware store plant culture of let's go buy this expensive pretty plant in this pot and I know nothing about it and I'm not going to find out either, but let's just see if it will serve it's purpose of flowering for a month. It is a disposable world - even plants. I go to Lowe's specifically to hit their clearance rack, and it blows my mind. Usually there is a thousand dollars worth of plants that they just didn't water, or they decided it wasn't blooming anymore. Often times some sad African daisy, or something similar, on the verge of death will talk me into taking it home. I sigh and mutter something like fine, I will take you away from these terrible people. :)
Yes, Facebook has a very annoying set-up with their feed. It is pretty dysfunctional. I stopped posting pictures of anything a few years ago. Funny, but Facebook has inspired me to do the opposite of their philosophy. I now more embrace the idea of not staying in touch with everyone. I just don't really want my second cousin to see much in my life. I don't actually know her. The people that really matter get emails from me with pictures. I like it better that way. I guess that is the voice of an introvert.
I love that there is a group for aluminum Christmas trees.
