so much leaving…
Sunday my 3 big plants left. By big I mean big. I have had all three for over 20 years. The Fiddle Leaf Fig had trunks that would have been 12 feet tall, had I had that high of a ceiling. The Ficus Benjamina had an 6 plus foot diameter. The huge Philodendron Solleum had humonguous leaves, and lots of them.
But they got adopted by the nicest people who came all the way from Phoenix with a horse trailer to pick them up. My first thought when the 3-horse-trailer pulled up was “overkill”. As it turned out, every inch was needed. The trailer drove off with leaves peaking out of every window.
Kindly the lady let me know in an email that the plants had a good trip and are doing well.
Still, they were my pride and joy.
Today I found a new home for my ducks and parakeets, possibly even the stray cats I’m feeding.
The first plan for the ducks fell through. But it looks like this one is an even better deal. Lake an all. So they will have a good life.
Still, they were my quackers.
The parakeets go to a lady who already has one older bird. They may or may not all live happily together. They may stay in separate cages, her boy and my couple. Sure is that they will all yack on top of their lungs with each other. Fun will be had by all.
Still, they were my birdies.
I made a final plea to everybody on Craigslist to please take over feeding the two cats. None of the rescue agencies will take them. They are all overflowing. The Humane Society will. But they have a slim chance of getting out alive. Well, I got a response from a kind heart who seems to be willing to take them on. Details to be worked out.
Those boys are some of the nicest cats I have come across.
All these good-byes are starting to take a toll. By the time I leave here I will be numb. The only defense left.
