Not so very long ago, a girl and her boyfriend stooped on the sidewalk outside their Inman Square apartment with a plethora of plants at their feet. They were moving to the West Coast and had to find new homes for their leafy friends. I was working the door that night, and some inclination told me to leave the restaurant and walk down the street. It may have been someone said, “Free plants that way.” I took in one, and my friend Jim took one, and another friend Colin Weinerman adopted one as well. Weinerman’s suffered a horrible death of neglect, but both Jim and I have cared for these living things with love. The girl left me her email address, and so I am sharing with her their wellness here on my blog.
Jim named his after a character from the animated series, Darkwing Duck. Reginald Bushroot is a biologist who became half-plant and half-duck following a chemical accident. He is able to control plant life.


The planet is rotating toward you and beast and grape vine circle your feet.
this makes me soooo happy!
