27

Apparently at age 27 people think you are officially capable of being responsible for living things. This birthday was the birthday of plants.

Let me show you...

from my brother

from Brad

Brad again

Brad once again... Traders Joes was good to him (and me!)

from the Murphy family (planter was fitting!)

and this is "Thelma Lou" affectionately named and given by Mama.

Now we all remember my tree in Yichang that was carried by motorcycle only to die a short time later. Hopefully these go better than that.

I also officially adopted Socrates today. :)

Beth, age 27, responsible.
