A bird’s eye view
I am writing on a iPad on loan from the vantage point of the terrace that is right off my office now our office/bedroom. And the terrace figures prominently in this post as it was the terrace that I insisted on when the LaLa was being conceived and it was the terrace that caused most of the consternation with the myriad carpenter/contractors who worked on the LaLa for so many reasons I cannot begin to name here. And it is the terrace that we have become fixated on these days as we were wondering about turning it into a living area instead because we seldom if ever use the terrace for its original intention.
A cursory conversation about what it might entail to do this conversion was enough to make me believe the answer to this “issue” is to begin to use the terrace more often and so I am out here feeling the warmish gulf breeze blowing on my skin and listening to the palm fronds rustling.
I am contemplating the succulents that are a nice shade of green and thinking the thing about succulents is they enjoy an arid environment but need sufficient water to live and it has been an ongoing battle to determine just how that can be reduced to a formula so that I don’t have to think about what they need but just be able to provide it.
I think I have a lazy mind and sometimes try so hard to find formulas or short cuts that I actually could just try to assume everyday I will need to reevaluate most everything and see what needs to be done from there rather than trying to find the end of all thinking.
