RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 12/ Christmas / 18> A very special day for more than one reason; more like 500 of them.
Love that Pony Tail Palm, my one died on me (ants or something got to it) that is ever lasting and copper should turn green with time....
Cultural Christmas Eve dinners sound like they are going to grow in the telling over the next few years, will wait to hear about them too!
What a let down for your son being prepared to give of his time and knowledge, people really don't realize how they can crush a young man's determination by doing ill deeds like this.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
I always loved the pony tailed palm because it was so easy to take care of as a house plant. This one will be even easier than that, and no need to worry about ants or disease.
The boy has always stepped up and volunteered at that church since he turned fourteen and to do him that way was just plain wrong in our opinion. That pastor has the wrath of Mrs. Papper headed his way next week and I would warn him in advance but since he didn't bother warning the boy he was being replaced ahead of time, I won't warn him either.
You have a great and wonderful Christmas as well.
Ha ha, if Mrs. Papper is anything like me the pastor is in for a treat (good tongue lashing) he will never do that to a young man again.
As for Pony Tail Palm, my brother has one I gave him approximately 30 years ago growing in his garden I would estimate the height at 3 meters with a lovely sturdy base. Also gets Christmas lights at this time of the year.
We live sub-tropical so the palms trees are a delight in every garden here.
