I’d like to thank those folks who take care of the atrium plants. It’s one of a hundred little volunteer activities that make life around here nicer. If you prune the plants, please don’t overdo it, and do be aware that leaves are bound to fall on the lower floors and that it’s the pruner’s responsibility to see that they’re picked up promptly before they get ground into the carpet.

That being said, if anyone sees a pile of dead leaves that have fallen from above and has a minute to spare, please pick them up and put them in the compost or in with your trash. It’s easier for many to do a little than for one person to de-litter every floor.

One other caution for those people who water the plants: be sure they need it first. Some plants have multiple caretakers and it IS possible to kill them with kindness.

Also, if you’re packing things to move or ship, or perhaps have a craft project that might benefit, I’ll have a couple of bags of bubble wrap and kraft paper up for grabs in the office tomorrow morning. Plus an unopened can of cake frosting good until next April (the cupcakes didn’t survive long enough to get frosted). All free for the taking!
