This is a very informative link to care for Jade Plants.  I recently aquired a start while visiting my sister in Big Sur, California.  Unfortunately I do not have a picture of the Jade Plants at Big Sur Bakery, they have grown to the size of a small tree, about three feet in height.  I hope my little guy grows to be healthy and happy.

~BOOKS~

Due to recent events, the crashing of my hardrive and being without a computer for a few weeks, I have begun reading a lot more to occupy my time.  I have also used this event to reason with myself that I should not forget how much I enjoy reading and should continue to do it liberally.
