I Love Bamboo

The move from Cincinnati to Charlotte has been a real process ... a 4-month process, to be exact. So of course I was thrilled last week when JNK closed on 656 Delta and the final moving took place. (Once you are out of college, 4-months is a really long time to be without real furnature.) When I returned Friday evening from the epic 10-day trip, I was so pleased to be welcomed by the potted bamboo that was transplanted from our urban bamboo forest in Cincinnati. Bravo to JNK for jedi-mindtricking the movers to pack and transport across state lines ... which is apparently a no-no. I love bamboo ... it makes a beautiful screen and behaves so gracefully in the wind. And have you noticed the massive bamboo-product market? From very cool floors to fences to kitchenware to clothing ... apparently bamboo is the new hemp. Who knew? Here, the potted bamboo really improves the otherwise stark apartment breezeway. And how cool are those pots? From IKEA - one of my very favorite stores. Unfortunately, being confined to the pots will probably not allow for the growth necessary for doing any Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon-type moves. Now if only I had a pet panda ...

JNK must have a really sensitive side....
Your bamboo was great in Cinci--loved the gentle rustling...
