finally a sunny day in san francisco! this whole week is supposed to be beautiful, but unfortunately (or fortunately?), i’ll be temping wednesday through tuesday at the architecture firm. if they give me a longer lunch break, maybe i’ll be able to sit by the water and soak in the rays.
i decided to get off my lazy ass and explore the neighborhood gardening shops. one is all the way up divisadero called plant it earth. oy. they specialize in indoor plants so i bought a nice replacement succulent log (is that what it’s called?) for our bathroom. i’m really afraid it’s going to die in no time, but the saleslady gave me some caretaking tips — let’s pray this one will survive longer than the last one did. who knew that they just use a glue gun of all things to attach the plan to the log!
after that, i hopped on the 24 bus to hortica, our local gardening store. it has a cute backyard with a pretty decent selection of plants. asked the cashier what he recommends for a backyard with limited light and two very inept gardeners. he suggested geraniums. i was hoping he’d suggest something a bit more exotic. i’m thinking we’ll just stick to herbs.
