theres this really cool coffee shop in middletown, connecticut called klekolo world coffee. in january, the day before i split back to colorado (16th) , i snatched a little spider plant shoot from this massive, sprawling, 20-foot beast of a plant.

i took the sprout, wrapped it into a wet paper towel, and snuck it into my backpack to bring home to co via the airplane ride.

well, it took me a day or two to remember that the plant was even in there. i took it out, gave it a grimace look, filled an old film case with water and left it on the window sill of my dorm floor. i again remembered it about a week later, i checked it out, all the water was gone, so i filled it up with water, brought into my room, and put it right by my desk. it looked a little brown on the edges, but i thought it would survive.

well, its been bout another week later, its a bit more brown, a bit more limp -lifeless, some might say, but i still have high hopes. some people keep dogs before going all the way and having children, i guess i need a bit more practice on my argriculture skills...

still have high hopes.
