After more than a year with a decidedly unhappy aloe vera plant, I finally figured out that it needed to be watered exactly every two weeks. ...and, when I water it, I can’t just give it a few drops. The water needs to stand in the pot while I’m watering. I’m also using orchid fertilizer, which I thought it didn’t like until I determined that I wasn’t watering it enough each time. So, it’s not huge yet, but it’s putting on new growth that’s actually looking healthy!

I’m finding that I’m more likely to get up after my alarm shuts off and the music stops. Unfortunately, that’s an hour after I’ve set my alarm. It’s quite bizarre and annoying.
old photos

I mainly have photos that I took before I got a digital camera, as well as those ones that my family took before that. It’s just a matter of organizing them. I have all the supplies, i.e. albums and “magnetic” photo pages from the Exposures catalog.
