I went to London this last Spring. It was beautiful. So green and tons of flowers. I don't have a green thumb, but I can make killer Guacamole. So, while making the guacamole this summer, I decided I would try and plant the avacado pit. And just look, it sprouted. Its brown and ugly, but its mine. I am growing it. I look at it every day. And I absolutely love it! It trusts me. It needs me and it doesn't talk back.
