\nYou go somewhere with Roy, you have to expect greenery or seeds or SOMETHING that loves dirt, maybe the main reason being that I think Roy loves dirt! \u00a0He is at his happiest, digging and planting and weeding. These \u00a0particular plants were all in a trunk\/suitcase and had been stripped of the dirt around their roots and placed in baggies by Roy & our son Josh the night before we left the U.S. Normally Roy would leave them in their baggies, their dirtless roots hanging tight until we\u00a0would\u00a0arrive to our final destination. This time, though, he was concerned because they were going to be almost a week without dirt and water, so he ministered to his plant friends yesterday. He found some good soil and has given them each a bit of comfort until we drive our 9 hours back home to Gamboula on Saturday.<\/p>\n
