Christmas 2019 at the Mother Ship in Queens.
Before more time passes, some images to record the day ... a mish mash of Mother Hen hobbies (that’s right, the plants have taken over the upstairs bathroom), Papa Rooster eccentricities (juxtaposition of scale model of house and erratic holiday lighting of actual house), and my hobbies/just being...
 |
| Wooden Snoopy, painted at a classmate's party sometime during the latter half of elementary school. |
 |
| Santa socks, snow globe pajamas. |
 |
| Mama's African violets. |
 |
| Papa's model of the Mothership. |
 |
| Papa's lights for the coming year. |
 |
| Burlap wrapped gift with recycled ribbon and card tag. |
 |
| Haphazard tree lights. |
 |
| A lot lamp post. |
 |
| Mama's amaryllis. |
 |
| Bathroom jungle, by the only southern exposure upstairs. |
 |
| Christmas cactus, blooming on schedule. |
 |
| More African violets... |
 |
| ... in different shades. |
 |
| Classic poinsettia. |
What’s to be drawn from this? Interestingly, my interests seem to be a mix of theirs. The green thumb is definitely Mother Hen. The shelter interest would seem more Papa Rooster, though, truth be told, he hasn’t a particularly strong interest in home improvement - his has more to do with blingy-ness of whatever is on hand or has caught his eye at that moment. And the overarching theme? A high tolerance for some messiness and coziness and relaxed, non-neat, non-minimal, non-streamlined existence.
