Watching Grass Grow

Been reading a fair bit lately, a tutorial on how to post higher definition photographs which I hope I have succeeded with and journals from heirloom, radogast, smokeater, a new one that started a few hours ago from noobie-something or other (i will get the name right, just a tad stoned) and have now managed to set about writing the next paragraph.
During the course of the day (lucky me, another day off) I've sat and watched the grass grow and thought and looked and thought and read and looked some more.
A wet, dull cloudy day 24 degrees 70% humidity
I remember Heirloom saying
"It gives you something to play with and learn. You could top it, bend it...basically do anything without fear of messing it up"
and looking at it I get to thinking that if I opened-up the leaves then that would allow more light to penetrate.

The leaves seemed sort of clustered and I thought what if. . . . . . .

This was my first effort, i found an old roll of solder wire which seems to be made for what I had in mind.

This is how it looks after I stopped messing with it, before anything went wrong!
As I type this it looks like it'll need a little adjustment as its grown since I took the picture, transferred it, uploaded it, read a bit, got a bit more stoned . . . . . .hey, it's my day off, don't judge

With my reading I've noticed that I'm spending it mainly reading the journals of those contributors that have taken the time to comment on my progress. Which of course I appreciate but in doing so I'm also getting to know them a little, which is cool. At the same time I realise that as I write this, not only am I stoned (as you may be too) but you are also getting to know me a little. Thats a little weird or maybe its the weed, but I don't think its a bad thing..
2 more things before I make that adjustment; if this goes pear-shaped, I wont blame Heirloom for his comment! and I answered my second thing myself, something about taking hours to create your post. Thanks for continuing support and good luck to all whatever your circumstances. Positive is good.
