Trees

I look out the window and I see the neighboring field. It is overgrown with plants and bushes. Emere tells me most of it is bamboo. This fascinates me, though she can't understand why. I always thought bamboo would be taller and more... chinese and certainly not so common. I look farther down the hill and I see more plants and trees, as far as I can see there is green. And sandwiched in between the trees are houses. I know there must be more houses than what I can see, this is Auckland after all, but they are obscured by the native foliage. I am in the middle of a battle between the houses and the trees. I think the trees are winning. 
You know what? I think I miss the brown.


Right now I am waiting for Nana and Pop to come pick me up. We will be going down to Rotorua. I will be glad to get out of the city and into the country where there is hopefully a little more room to breathe. But it will be sad to leave the Josephs. It has been wonderful staying here. I don't miss my family as much because I have been here. Hopefully I will be able to come back sometime. It has been so easy to be here because the Joshephs have  the same principles and standards to my own family. It's interesting to me how similar the two homes are because they are both built from the same stuff.
