i'm home! i've only been away less than two weeks, but it still felt great to come back. the new little rose bush has it's first flower, the oldest little orchid that i nearly killed a few years ago is full of pink flowers again, and when we opened the door we met the horrible/nice smell of the hoya. i wonder if the plants have missed me, and wanted to welcome me home, or if they started to flower out of relief that i left...
