Hey, that sounds good. I’ve been trying to decide what to cook for the potluck next Saturday and I think your suggestion of a veggie pasta salad is perfect. I’ll make sure to grab some cherry tomatoes and basil from the farmer’s market. I’ve also been thinking about trying that new sourdough starter from the bakery down the street — have you ever used theirs? Anyway, I’ll bring the salad and maybe a loaf if I get there early enough. Let me know if you want me to coordinate with Sarah about the dessert. The party seems to be growing every year and I love how everyone brings something unexpected. zWuPuvmhZB0G This time I’m also thinking of making a simple lemon vinaigrette on the side so people can adjust the tanginess. Let me know if you need help setting up the tables — I can come by an hour early.

Honestly, I’ve never been great at keeping houseplants alive, but my neighbor just gave me a cutting of her monstera and I’m determined to try. She said to water it only when the top inch is dry, and to keep it in indirect light. I’ve been researching potting mixes — seems like a chunky aroid blend is best. I’m hoping this one survives because the leaves are gorgeous. Also, I finished reading that book you suggested — the one about the botanist in the Amazon? Loved the descriptions of the forest canopy. zWuPuvmhZB0G The pacing was a bit slow in the middle but the ending made up for it. I’m thinking about starting a gardening journal just to track my attempts. Let me know if you want me to bring you a cutting when it roots. I’ll probably have to wait a few months.
