I wasn't able to go out Thursday to celebrate my Twenty Fifth Tranniversary, so I did it tonight.
Happy 25th Jenn. Here's to 25 more in whatever country I end up by 2050.
Twenty Five Years Ago, about six months into living as a woman in Austin. I love that outfit.
I think my basil plant is dead. :/
While I was in Texas, my thermostat dropped to 50 to save energy. Basil doesn't do well in anything below 70. And my house was a steady 50 for a week.
I came home to find all the leaves browning and dry, and the water dried up (I filled it to the brim on the way out the door). I'm watering it again to see if I can save it, but I don't think it will.
