Gardening and things

Well!
It has been a while since I posted anything I guess I have been busy. I just got back from a very lovely weekend in Pittsburgh! I love that place! It's a beautiful city full of people I adore. I am moving into a new place this week and the internship is going great.
Today I spent the day working in the shade border planting. I have been doing a lot of weeding lately and I feel like I am pretty darn good at IDing weeds right now. I also have successfully rooted three cuttings from a curly willow. Which I hope to turn into bonsai over the next few years one for my dad, one for my boyfriend and one for me. But if even one grows with success I will be happy.
It's so easy with this particular plant. I just stuck the cuttings in a glass with some water and let them go.
I have now worked outside all day in the pouring rain, the blazing humid sun, and cold windy overcast days. I have to say while not always pleasant I love being outside. Experiencing all weather is, I feel, one of the beauties of life. Although I do prefer to watch the rain from a porch or a window, I can honestly say working in the rain makes me feel alive.
Wavehill is a beautiful place and I feel it is and honor to work there. I know I am an intern, which means I do a lot of hard labor, but most days it really isn't that bad.
Thats all I really have to say. One of these days I will get a camera and I will be able to show you all the beauty that I help tend to everyday.
Peace and love'
