Spring is in the air {finally!}. It has been such a long winter…though I know not technically longer than any other winter the weather has been ‘rough’! Snow, snow, snow ~ which is lovely at first but I am so ready to see flowers, leaves….green! I love the above picture from Southern Living. They have a great tutorial on forcing spring blooms and I am excited to forge ahead and do me some forcin’. I scoured my yard yesterday looking for possible candidates ~ none were found but I did manage to have a snowball fight with my oldest son in 62° weather…it is not often that I can say that.
Have a beautiful day!

Ahhh yes, spring is in the air and I love plants…outdoor plants, indoor plants, plants, plants, plants….. {hence my previous Going Green big plant post}! The other day I was once again at the Thrift Store {yes, I should probably just get a job there…I am there a lot lately} and found nothing…up and down the aisles…just about ready to leave….empty handed….when, out of the corner of my eye I spied it…. a wicker plant stand!!!! Doing the happy dance…I love wicker. Now, I wanted to be all creative with it…perhaps I should place it in the bathroom with a blast of colorful hand towels and soaps….or I could place it in the kitchen, line it with some plastic and fill it with fresh fruit….or…I could wait a few more weeks and place it on my porch filled with pansys.…what to do what do do???? Well, I could decide that at a later time…off to the checkout I went with $3.17 cents…exact change.
My next stop was Aldi {no…I don’t work for them…just have a hungry family so I go there…a lot} and up by the checkout there were philodendrons…now….my post last week told my sob story of the philodendron that died *wiping tears* and this one was only $4.99…it must be fate…it was the perfect size for my new plant stand. Into the cart I plopped my new philodendron. Once I got home I introduced Philly {my new philodendron} to Googly Eyed Big Boy {my plant from last week} and now…they are inseparable….it is true love!
