watching the grass grow

when my tomato plant looks wilted and defeated by the heat, i like to take it someplace cool, water it, and watch it spring back to life.

sometimes it takes a moment or two but in always a shorter time than you'd think the arms start to spring and the leaves pop back into place and i feel like i'm seeing something usually reserved for caterpillars and time lapse photography - it's awesome.

often you can forget that plants are alive because they rarely move in ways that are noticeable but when they do i find it so amazing. and such a worthy thing to watch.
