Again, CK, I am so sorry. It is such a hard thing, I know.
It will get better. You gave her a good and loving home.
Hugs to you.
Its tomorrow am that I'm opening- sorry for the confusion- today I tutor a boy before school and its starbucksChip wrote:
Cheryl, how did you make out with Sae Midori this AM?
(hopefully I won't be excommunicated for admitting that!!)herb_master- absolutely gorgeous!! I have a question- I know that wisteria is a vine- but can it also be a tree? there is a tree in bloom here (just northwest of washington dc) that looks like wisteria but well, its a tree???
cutieagouti- congrats!! why agouti? i saw some in costa rica last summer... and well, studied them in honors bio back in undergrad-
geekgirl- so glad he's back!!! I so couldn't imagine indy being missing for even 1 minute!!!!
no tea today-
way too unexpectedly busy- my computer quit at work so I needed to talk to the IT guy while teaching and meeting with the director and writing reports cards (which I should be doing now 
)- looking forward to opening my new pkg of sae midori tomorrow am even though it means getting up early!cheryl

Thanks!! Tea really got my through my thesis this year, without it I would have been a very cranky senior.
While I like many animals I have a strong penchant toward rodents or rodent-looking animals. So as a name it kinda came naturally.
Interesting that you studied them during your undergrad program!! I almost went into bio, but ended up in art somehow

Ordinarily a Wisteria will start to look like a tree grown against the side of a house after many many years.cherylopal wrote: herb_master- absolutely gorgeous!!

The new seasons growth cannot support it's own weight, let alone the following seasons growth without the aid of something to hang on to - like a house wall, pergola or another plant/tree.
But after a decade or so the original trunk will be quite enlarged and solid if it had been trained vertically all this time the support could be removed and it would remain tree like, but I am not sure what would happen to subsequent years growth if they were not provided with support.
Perhaps, different cultivars, with the aid of special plant breedsmen can do better.
But checking on the web I see
They are selling mini wisteria trees on the web.
and training them as trees everywhere it seems
One of Several examples on this page

it was about genetics but then i ended up teaching- first grade- so don't use the genetics much except there is much truth to "the apple don't fall far from the tree!"CutieAgouti wrote:Cherylopal

Well...right now I have heartburn and I realize that working out with heartburn really doesn't go well together. So I'd advise if you have heartburn then running isn't the best thing to do.
Moving on, I'm a little irked that I have to do some drilling (i'm not the one drilling, just logging the soil) on friday, especially when Teance is having another class that while I was on the fence about going to, I decided that it would be pretty fun to go especially if I'm going to be moving from the Bay Area in the next few months. I don't think i'll be able to go though, because I'll be all nasty and dirty from all the soil and being outside today and I'd just feel embarassed showing up to a swanky tea shop lookin like I belong on a farm (which isn't bad, but not the image I want to have in the nicer part of Berkeley). Also I'm irked that the class I really want to take at Teance is the same day i'm flying out to Colorado. Alas...
But on a high note, I finally was able to have a glass of puerh that wasn't oversteeped, and it ended up being pretty good! (Just some Rishi Puerh). Also...there wasn't alot of people in the fitness room at my apartment complex either!

For tea today I had 2nd flush Margaret's Hope Darjeeling
made a fantastic dinner tonight...halibut with light green sauce and Greek salad on the side.
Sipping some wine now...might as well finish the bottle I used for the sauce right?
It's Estacion Chardonnay from 2007...it's a Casablanca Valley one.

Twickling with genetics
HM: Wisteria bushes have been hybridized to form true miniature tree forms that can be easily trained into bonsai-like plantings; they are slow-growing and maintain their pendant shape without fuss.
ER: When I have to do field sampling and then attend meetings with contractors at the end of the work day, I will carry a spare set of clothing and antibacterial wipes for a quick cleanup.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved pet, CK.
Russian Caravan to end my day.

Cinnamon Kitty, I'm sorry to hear about your cat. We lost our little black cat to kidney problems a few years ago.
GeekGirl, I'm glad your kitty came back!
Herb_Master, thanks for all of the flower photos. I love blue flowers, and there just aren't enough of them in my part of the world.
I don't get to post or read much here in the in middle of the week--work's been insane lately. I miss the TeaChat, though.
I'd describe myself as an introvert, and I like to have a cup of tea alone, to take the time to use the pretty china, to steep the tea the proper amount of time instead of just remembering it at some point, to have time to drink it while it's still hot.
