Today's picture - my marimo moss ball - named Suiyoubi [which means Wednesday in Japanese] enjoys a sun beam this morning before the torrential rains turned a bright sunny August day into mush.

Suiyoubi represents the beginning of my current obsession with growing green things indoors and outside. Maybe it's silly to have paid for a ball of moss that has to live in a jar of tap water, but I like him. He's part of my quest for Zen and watching him rest quietly on his shiny rocks and seashells relaxes me.
