risen from the near-dead......

ok, so i spent yesterday repotting plants......in particular the ficus that was severely damaged in the bathroom fire.....it was tall enough that the smoke and heat snuffed out the top halk......it was dragged onto the porch for the firefighters....and by the time that it caught my attention again....the top part looked like a fall display of yellow, with the bottom portion merely sooty and a bit frost-bitten from the spurts of cold weather that followed the fire.......i tried to clean it up a bit, by carefully removing the yellowed leaves.....and lo....there were new buds everywhere on branches that i thought defunct......looks like the tree was damaged and not dead......and so i have repotted it to a much larger italian terracotta vessel.....it was pot-bound.....and now hope for a glorious comeback.....not your classic easter story....but it is the only one i have.....gentle readers, have a resurrecting day........
