Memory Loss
I forget a lot of things. Like returning this hypertufa tub I ‘borrowed’ from a friend who made it and the name of the Iris and Hosta planted in it. I won’t swear on it but the Hosta could be ‘Praying Hands’.
No great loss though, the plants are there to enjoy and I don’t need a name to do that. And my friend’s loss is my gain. He did such a nice job making it you can see why I forgot to give it back.
The tub has been replanted a number of times over the years. Sedums replaced with Rock Cress replaced with Hens and Chicks and now replaced with mini Iris and Hosta. I think I’ll forget to replant for a while – I like it as it is. Besides it makes a great home for the Iris.
Another good thing about the tub is the Iris can easily be seen now. No longer will they be overgrown by larger perennials, lost in sight and memory until nearly lost for good.
I think my brain is full. When I put something new in – something old gets pushed out. It’s nothing to worry about until the day I forget one of those special days like my wife’s birthday or our anniversary. Good thing I was smart about the wedding date. April Fools Day is something I’m not likely to forget any time soon.
