Today the most wondrous thing happened! First time on the job, and I must admit I was feeling nervous, but I swear it wasn't just me. She spoke to me, she really did!

I was in the North Arbor Greenhouse, looking for someone to show me the ropes, when a tiny little...thing called out to me! I don't know what else to call it...I suppose she was a sprite of sorts. The spirit of a plant, embodied in a human-like form. And she spoke to me!

I was so excited with this discovery that I almost burst into the staff room to let someone know, but I thought better of it. They would surely think I was crazy, it being my first day. Or, they would already know about this and find me rediculously funny. So, I resolved to keep it to myself.

I must find out if this is a result of our genetics program, or if every plant in the arboretum has a similar sprite. If so...oh, the possibilities! And Phili...that's what I've started calling her...Phili seems to have taken a liking to me. We talked a good bit, and we have so much to share with one another. She seems born with an innate understanding of plants; whenever I ask about something she deems obvious, she gets so incredulous. It's very cute, although she makes me feel silly at times. There is much about the outside world she wishes to know as well.

Oh, here comes Lulu! I should look like I'm working.

Monday

We had a little mishap with Kitten...she'll be okay, of course. But we ended up with a new parent for Pink! Taneko came on board with the other parents, and she's doing a great job so far. Course, she calls Pink "Ari," so I'll have to get used to that. But I think I can manage. ^_~

Anyway right now I've got a more pressing problem. Apparently, that last shipment of African plants we got in carried a stowaway. Now I've got hairy yellow spiders running around the outside of the South Arbor Greenhouse. Luckily, I think the new parents are going to help me out with that. We'll see how this goes...We're going to try to round them up.
