I live outdoors indoors
How’s that for a puzzler? I know it sounds as though it makes no sense, but it actually does describe how I live. I enjoy having many plants and trees living indoors with me. So, it feels like I live in a park, an indoor one.
And today was water the indoor plants and trees day. I like to do it on Thursdays. And the good news is that I was again able to use rainwater that I have collected. I could almost hear each plant and tree saying thank you.
We work well together. I give them water, and they give me joy, oxygen, and possible pictures to take.

Some of them have been around longer than I have. What I mean by that is they used to belong to someone else before I began taking care of them. Now it is my turn to be kind and caring.
There are Spider Plants, Wandering Jew plants, Aloe Vera plants, Ficus trees, Norfolk Island Pine trees, baby Apple trees, just to name a few. Each and every one has a story to tell. And I like to take pictures of them, some of which you can see in my pictures on Flickr.
And the good news of the pictures is that I can not only revisit a moment with a particular plant or tree, but now that some of them are no longer alive, the pictures are even more special to me.
Thank You, Lord for Your wonderfulness in helping plants and trees to grow.
