One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending an entire day in Chartres Cathedral in 1997.

Teach, Learn, Share

I recently rooted an avocado from its pit and now have a lovely tree growing. In fact, it's almost a foot tall. I have derived great pleasure from watching my little avocado grow, and I'll post some tips and tricks up here for those who want pet avocados of their own! They are really fun little plants.
