Brenda's ability to kill or maim any plant she comes in contact with is legendary. However, the big fern we got for the front porch is not a victim of this serial killer.
Shortly after we bought it, I noticed this little bird would always fly out of it when I came out the front door. I wondered if it was making a nest but didn't really give it much thought. In a few weeks I kept hearing this weird noise and finally realized it was a bunch of chirping baby birds living in the fern!
So we've not been able to water the fern, but I suppose it will have died so the babies could live. A decent trade.
PS: Actually, Brenda did water the fern at least once before I told her there were chicks in it. So she may be guilty of trying to drown them.
Greetings from California, Andrew! Still out here teaching at a community college and tomorrow is the first day of the 48 Hour Film Competition in San Francisco so you know what i'll be doing all weekend! More pictures of Marietta!! Would it kill you to take a picture of 636 Third Street? I really miss that house. I still miss Marietta. A grotesque amount.
