The Dying Plant

I was watering earlier today when I noticed a dying plant, hidden in a corner of my small balcony garden. Once thriving, this succulent doesn't seem to have coped when I rearranged things a few weeks ago. I think I may have overwatered as well. I felt a bit upset looking at the little plant. For amongst the sludge of plant debris was also scatters of broken crockery, shells, banksia seed and a plastic echidna.

Happy birthday Sunny. Even after 2 x years of chewing, carnage, and destruction, I love you with all my heart. #CatsOfMastodon #cats
was blissfully journaling until I was rudely pushed off the page ... #cats

Finding haiku poetry beneath the Iloilo City street lights on a hot hot Easter weekend. The brightly coloured leaves bloomed translucence.

Where do you go to escape the oppressive heat in the Philippine tropics? For us it's a swimming pool behind our subdivision.

Sometimes on a hot afternoon, my son and I walk the backstreets to a swimming pool, hidden among mango trees and and a quiet moon.
