Surprise!

A change of scenery and different expectations led to a perfectly delightful surprise.  While visiting my sister for Thanksgiving another bit of green joined us topside.  When I put the seeds in, two had initially began to grow but after the chatulim knocked it over the first time, I assumed the second seed was a loss.

Apparently not.  Due to the very dry area of the country my sister lives in I decided to cover the single sprout with a tall glass.  (I also decided that as a rule, whenever these days fall on holidays I am going to treat them as a Shabbat and not record them) Within a day, perhaps enjoying the “greenhouse” treatment, this second sprouted up.  It had been there the whole time, waiting for an opportune moment.  I am not entirely certain what to make of this development.  Since until now things have dovetailed nicely.  Simply.

This new thing is messy, complicated, unexpected, but exciting.  I am still terrified...of course.
