Fantastic! Thank you guys....close to a Monstera then, but their labelling could have been somewhat better! I shall try very hard to keep up the good work (although I suspect the plant's success is more down to the plant itself than to anything I'm doing!! - maybe it just likes my windowsill.....) Thanks again - I'm off to read up on it now :-)

I like your house color as it is; very craftsman-like. I do think the garage doors should be painted so that they do not stand out and call attention to themselves. I think your front porch is lovely and should be where our eyes want to go. I definitely agree with Patricia...white is not a good choice for this home.

Your new June sure is loving it's new home! Heart and Soul looks good, too. I wonder if your teaspoons will have more elongated leaves being in more sun than the rounder ones I think happen in more shade? I'm not surprised to see the whites burning on High Society. It will be interesting to see what acclimates to more sun next year. I have one in sun that burns every year, and it just dawned on me to move it, lol. Ironically, it's Sun Power. It looks great in spring, which I suppose is why I've left it there, but it can't take the harsh sun we have by summer.

@arcy_gw thats the exact message the pop psyc book I mentioned discusses. That the people in relationships have different expectations of the roles that make a happy pairing. And the idea that trying over and over again to change other people’s behavior impacts you more than the person who won’t change doesn’t really involve judgement. Lastly, the point that relationships are not realistically “two people skipping through a field of flowers“ 100% of the time acknowledges the normal ups and downs. Which point do you disagree with? The idea of posing a framework for thinking is not radical or unusual. The constitution is a framework for our country. The Bible and Koran serve as frameworks for their followers. Building codes provide a framework for safe habitable spaces. In 2020 there was a great article in The Medium about the addictive nature of outrage. It’s a good read.
