Sooooo.....
It's been nearly a year since I wrote to you all. I've been busy growing. Also, there is a new person in my office and so there's more talking, more music, more moving around...more things to occupy my time and attention. I like the new lady. She's funny and likes country music. My person doesn't exactly dislike country music, she likes a lot of it, but can't take a steady diet of it. So they compromise and listen to all kinds of stuff. I think I like the Irish Pub Music Station the best, but I would probably get tired of it if that's all I heard.
This morning a bird tried to land on me, but instead banged into the window. It was a good-size bird with a yellow beak. It happened so fast that I didn't get a good look.
It's been fun sitting here. I get nice light and plenty of water. I had a praying mantis on the other side of the window RIGHT IN FRONT of me. I've never seen one that close. It was a really cold day outside, but there he was just clinging to the window for hours. After a while my thoughts wandered and when I came back to myself he was gone. Just gone.
On Mondays, when my people are back in the office, the men come to mow grass and take care of the flowers.
I've grown a bit since the last time. Just last week I put out two new leaves and am working on a third.
I have to admit to being a pretty good looking plant. People who visit are always asking about me, and my person grins and says, "She's a mango tree. I grew her from seed." She likes that I am not your typical office plant. You know what? I do too.
Oh, you thought you were getting philosophical musings? Well, maybe tomorrow. I'll think on it.
