Cabin Fever is Setting In


This has been one mighty cold winter!  We had another unexpected snow day last week, which was a nice surprise.  I can appreciate a day off any time of the year. The temperatures have been down-right grueling though.    
 
Something that brings me joy is buying pitiful-looking house plants at Wal-Mart and trying to nurse them to health.  I have an African violet I got on clearance last winter.  The poor little thing had a glimmer of green left around the stem, so I knew there had to be hope.  I had never had an African violet before because I have always been slightly intimidated by them.  This one perked right up, however, and has thrived in my kitchen until just a few weeks ago.  I'm worried about it.  It's starting to look like it's hanging on by a thread...... Well, if anyone is still reading about my house plant, I apologize.  How boring, I'm sure. 
 
Here's is one of my newer additions.  They always look happier in one of Dad's pots.  This one found a new blue home last week and a very sunny place in our cabinet.  Welcome home, little fella. 


We are all stretching out for the sun a little bit these days.
