dad and i went to Scarborough Maine to check out the greenhouses at the Morrison Center. the Morrison Center is a development center which uses the greenhouses as therapy. horticulture was first used as therapy when hospitals began to have their poor patients do gardening to help pay off their bills.
after a while it became obvious that the patients outside in the gardens were healing much faster than the ones cooped up inside. the greenhouses at the Morrison Center specialize in orchids, native plants, and just for fun stuff -like a banana tree.
i might be crazy, but i think this is a pitcher plant, which is a carnivorous plant native to Maine!
apparently this plant is worth $300, but not for sale. it would be nice to have $300 to blow on one plant.
later i hung out with my friends. we hungout at hannafords and did some shopping. we got bread in a can. a loaf of bread is cheaper, but maybe the charge a little extra for the round shape. i was granted mainership now that i have had B&M brown bread (from a can). dad said it was a great excuse for butter, which it definitely was. it's bread in a freakin' can, we're in the future.
sooo busted.
and last, my very first hostage....
i had my first bread in a can fairly recently too. i think it was at kayla's house. everyone there was absolutely shocked that i hadn't ever had it before because i am from maine. strange!!
