revival raindrops
fortitude for foxtail ferns
showered sustenance
I might be losing a foxtail fern I’ve been mothering for two years. As the rain moved in (predicted until 4 p.m. today and 3 more days this week), I swept the fox twins out from under the eave into the showery forecast to let them drink Mother Nature’s healing elixir for winter-frail plants. The twin at the top is waning, weakening by the week. I’m hoping these rainy day opportunities in the forecast will bring life-giving magic that simply can’t come from a hose.
I need to tap into Plant Vibrations on YouTube and check out what Devin Wallien says to do for them. He’s a young Internet personality from Pennsylvania taking the flora world by storm, and his laid-back organic passion for plants inspires me to channel my own inner green thumb.
For today, though, it’s off to work, and while I’m there, this pair of foxes will be right here at home…….day drinking.
