In addition to my baking binge I started in the fall, which has actually died off a little recently, I am now a cultivator. Adrian bought me a huge set of beautiful lilies, which was so very nice. I originally put them on my kitchen table & let their luscious scent waft throughout the place. It wasn't long before I could tell they were unhappy in their little store pot & needed some room to grow. Here is a picture of them from the other day:
It's clear that they're already dying around the base, poor things. Ann & I made a trek to the garden center, where I found a much, much larger pot for them, with some organic soil to munch on. The new potting arrangement would be too big & tacky for the kitchen table, but I didn't want my babies to go to waste sitting alone in a corner of the house either. I moved them down to my bedroom, where they have a nice, sunny view out my windows. That way, they're always at the foot of my bed when I wake up, and my bedroom smells fantastic.
I really hope they survive & are happy in their new home.
How wonderful to hear positive comments about yourself at work. We all need affirmation that we are living a life worth while. Yea you!
ReplyDeleteIts always so nice to have flowers in your house and I have read they are a healthy source of oxygen. (Or something like that!)
You sound happy and what more can we hope for?!
