Winter Notes- Tuesday. February 13th. Cloudy...but no snow.....


 Not my favorite class to teach but I did love making terrariums.  Especially when the Mothership Greenhouse sent us wonderful glass containers (not often).  These are quite lovely. With lids to hold in the moisture.  This is the part of my old greenhouse job that I really miss...making things for customers to give as gifts.....and the occasional phone call to tell me how much their mother or grandmother or aunt LOVED the gift.  That meant everything to me. I had made someone that happy. On a holiday.

Our two potted Amaryllis bulbs are growing- Son's plant is about ready to open and have flowers...Mine is a week or two behind which is actually a great thing as the flowering will cover more days..... our neighbor across the street gave the bulbs to us as a Christmas gift....ours are the last to blossom.......

It hasn't snowed. 34 degrees and 54% humidity.  The lawn is half snow covered (old snow) and half green grass. The walks and drive are clear and dry.  Sort of like the green and white combo of the image up top.  I always tried to have extra moss on hand when we did terrariums.... I would collect in in the Perennial yard- scrapping it off rocks....

I toasted one of the cinnamon raisin bagels yesterday and had it with cream cheese.  So delicious. Looking forward to doing it again.  Haven't started the third book by Tessa Bailey. But will in a few minutes.

I didn't have the soup yesterday....I had a slice of Super Bowl Pizza and later  I peeled and sliced my last apple and microwaved it with butter and sugar--it was very very good.  I watched quite a bit of Law and Order...they have circled back and are now showing the old ones again...I sort of like them....like a nice old well worn sweater.  I have on a fresh sweater today....red.
