A restrained plant love affair - 5 things TODAY

Today, I have embraced the call to be a plantita. Yet for me being outside and tending my garden is more gratifying, houseplants are not really my cup of tea. For me, it's another task. 

Don't get me wrong, I am fine having less than 5 pots of plants and orchids, and yet plants started coming my way, and along with them - frustration. And as  I feel more dismayed, house plants show up somehow reminding me of some kind of unfinished business. Therefore, I have decided to answer the call, there's no turning back (not yet). 

There are a dozen or so potted plants at home and I would really like to keep that number and not be overwhelmed. This way, my plants can have all the love and attention they need. Along with my three citrus plants and my low tunnel garden plot. 

5 things TODAY.

  1. Cosmos. These beauties are flourishing and having them makes walking around the garden more special.
  2.  Made some bean salad with the garden greens and one Albenga unripe chili pepper.
  3. Harvest. Figs, tomatoes.
  4. Indoor plants. I am embracing the call for a dozen or so plants. 
  5. Fall/winter garden. Hopefully, I am not too late to plant salad and other greens for the coming cold season.
Last but not least, I am forever grateful to those of you who have gifted me with houseplants and trusted my so-called green thumb but our home has reached its space limit and number of potted plants.

Love and blessing,
Myra

Let it snow, let it snow--man!

The rasta-inspired creation of my hubby and Ms.K After loads of rolling here and there, it's done. Our first snowman of the season.;)It might not last long and will surely lose its precious eyes by tomorrow, but for now let's enjoy that smile. This reminds me of something, I just can't put my finger on it. Hmmm, do you have any idea? Think...think...! Eh-oh! Smile, it's Monday!

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?
