@veronica.elaine is very attached to her @hydroflask - she named it Helen & it even has a jingle. She forgot it in the car today when she jumped out for school. So, i kept her updated throughout the day.

So proud of myself! Lol - finally hung some plants! (at Adora Trails)

When you remember to bring your own bags ... and they bag them (at Fry's Marketplace)

Well, I've some hope that #FerdinandIgnatiousGellarII has survived his sunburn. Only a few leaves dropped and he doesn't appear to have gotten worse. We've also been fighting houseplant fungus gnats in his soil AND in our other houseplants. #FerdinandFiddleLeafFig #FiddleleafFig #FicusLyrata

Whist Evvie was playing on the vintage typewriter, we learned all about the missing "1" and "!" - i ❤️ the internet.

#ferdinandthefiddleleaffigtree is not doing well. Did i kill another one? We fertilized it a few hours ago... and had it outside for a bit. It was exposed to harsh arizona sun for like an hour when we didn't realize it wasn't in shadows anymore. I don't think he liked it :( (at Adora Trails)

#ferdinandthefiddleleaffig has new growth!

Introducing.... Ferdinand Ignatious Gellar II! Wish me luck! I hope i don't kill him too. #ferdinandFiddleleafFig #Fiddleleaffig (at Gilbert, Arizona)
