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.
