The little red maple tree has been a wonderful addition to my group of office plants that I have had for a long time, see like my plants at work do so much better them my plants at home so I have taken to getting more and more plants here at work, beside it nice to see them doing so well it makes a really hard day worth while. I feel like I am doing something right when the peace lilly blossom or the the christmas cactus gets new buds.
The Red maple was a mystery it appear one day and no one spoke up for it, that is until last Friday when a student came by to give me the receipts from a trip that I was working on, and looked at my window sill and smiled, I have seen that look before, it like seeing some one fitting in to a piece of Garb that you gave up for loaner gear, and seeing how well they look and how much that person appreciates the new outfit. It was the same proud look, so I question it, and he told me that he knew how hard it was to make the arrangement for 17 students and 5 professor to travel all on the same plane and the same hotel and get it all to come under budget and when he saw the little tree growing out of the cement in the gutter he just had to rescue it and give it to me to protect, almost made me cry. How sweet a gift is that.
The tree is doing very well and seem to love it new home and now when I look at it, it bring very sweat memories.
Now my tree needs a name.
