More happiness!

I just had a visit from one of my parishioners, and she was bearing a gift! October turns out to be clergy appreciation month, and the folks at First Lutheran were aware of that little fact. =)

(I didn't even know there was such a thing until Lucinda mentioned it to the pastors at our monthly conference meeting a few weeks back.)

So Shelly brought a beautiful palmy-sort of plant (we're not sure exactly what kind it is). That's perfect, because the plant that I bought six months ago for my living room finally died for good, after a long and annoying death rattle. That means I've got the perfect spot for the newcomer, and a pot and soil that are ready to go!

Shelly tells me this is a hardy plant that likes medium light... perfect.

Thank you to everyone at First Lutheran...I'll do my best to make sure my new plant is still alive for you to see next summer, at my next open house. ;)
