Time to bring in the plants! I inherited this split-leaf philodendron with my current apartment - it usually lives out on the gallery (see previous posts) where it does well enough to require regular pruning. This thing moving to the hallway has always been something of a bellwether - it also sometimes showed up in my old apartment across the hall. The wardrobe is Italian Art Nouveau - my landlords have a side business doing estate sales. It looks like it belongs in a hotel room overlooking Lago di Como.
ALL of the plants have to come in. Even the ones I would prefer to throw away. Of course I managed to break a pot in my living room. There's a nice marble mantel and campaign bed behind that jungle...
A little grim, no? (well, I was going to paint the floor anyway)
Yes, a bit grim. Now I'm off to help my friends Uptown batten down
their hatches. We'll decide tonight or tomorrow morning whether to stay to go. If I stay, I'll stay at their house. If not, Jackson here we come. We being Etta and I. We're prepared.

re: last image...so ADORABLE!
Thanks! Etta is quite photogenic - she makes it so easy.
Ohhh... you have a black pug! We have two, Mei and Sig. Found your great blog via H Hovey. Now I'll get back to reading your past posts - just had to comment on your sweet Etta!
