Saturday, August 25, 2018: Window Shades and Acalypha hispida (chenille plant)

Noticed today that the Marvin window shade that failed in May and replaced as failed again. The last time the bottom of the left track pulled out. This time the cord attached to the bottom of the left track popped out. Disconcerting. I sent an email to Mike (window guy) and will call him on Monday. Will encourage him to have it repaired or replaced before I leave town in September.


I had taken the Acalypha hispida (chenille plant) outside a couple of weeks ago, thinking it would enjoy the warm climate. Earlier this week I noticed it was obviously not getting enough water and had shriveled up. I brought it back inside and watered it thoroughly. It has recovered nicely and is 10" tall, two or three times the height of when I brought it home from the MoBot.
