Pine Boughs

Saturday I started to cut down my Christmas tree. I realize it's a bit late, but the tree is still green and drinking water. And it's a nice tree, so I like having it around. But mindful of the fact that cut trees don't last forever, I started removing bits and pieces. The cut pieces went into the turtle aquarium. Something fresh and green and nice smelling. Zeppe really likes the branches. He actually came out of his little house and "dug" into the branches.

I'm about to start some nasturtium seeds. I lost a plant out of the turtle aquarium, and I figure instead of buying another little foliage plant, I'll see if I can grow some nasturtium in that pot. The problem with plants in there is that they always get torn up.
