7th For Shabbat

Six of the yellow leaves are for the workweek. 

And the seventh (bent over at the top) is separate for Shabbat. 

Even nature reminds us to keep G-d’s commandments.  😉

Oriental Flair

I liked the oriental flair of this decor.

The vases, plants, and bonsai (even fake) were nice. 

Appreciated the symmetry as well which makes it hang all together. 

Relaxing and charming.  😉

Buddha Planter

Thought this was a great planter.

Beautiful purple flowers coming right from Buddha’s head.

Serene in so many ways! 😉

The Mother of all Cactus Needles

Wow, those are some humongous sharp needles on this cactus!

When I checked out from the store with this deadly plant, the cashier oulls the cactus from the shopping cart and gets one of the pins stuck right in her finger. 

It was just sort of caught there with the other end hanging out a couple of inches from her finger.

A little shocked and not sure what to say, I just sort of stumbled “Oh, Are you okay? I so sorry!”

She said she was and reached over and plucked the needle out holding her hand limply in the other. 

On the way home then, this guy says to me, “you better not sit on that thing.” 

Ah yeah, you’re not kidding! 😉

Beautiful Bonsai Tree

Something genius about a Bonsai tree.

The way it is on one hand natural and on the other hand “sculpted” by people. 

Sort of a metaphor for life, where G-d gives us the raw material and asks us to go do good with it. 

G-d creates and people shape that creation. 

Beautiful partnership makes a beautiful Bonsai! 😉
