I don’t much care for January. It’s the month that winter finally catches up with me. I can pretend it’s fall all the way into December. Then Christmas distracts me. But in January, it’s winter. Even though the days are getting longer by now, I feel the lack of light. I feel like a plant that isn’t photosynthesizing enough.
Yesterday I stopped at the grocery store for milk and junk food. As I was walking past the floral displays, I saw primroses. Primroses! It felt like something that had been tightening in my chest loosened just a little. I stopped to look at them for a little while. Even though people might have thought I was crazy, I took a picture. Spring will come again! The Early Dark will end!
Aw, that breaks my heart a little. You really need to live in a more southern climate. Either that or build a greenhouse.
Your greenhouse should completely enclose your real house.
That. would be. awesome.
I wonder if that’s ever been done? It is an awesome idea. I would be famous if I were the first person to ever do it. Maybe I could get my own TV show!
Dang.
Did you buy one? So you could carry it around with you for the next two months or so?
I was thinking the same thing…why didn’t you buy one…or two or three…for your kitchen, living room, etc.
Sorry you have become dormant. I hope someone is inspecting you for spider mites.
(PS–did you ever see the ‘Goosebumps’ episode where the dad in a family turns into a plant?)

The colors are so vibrant! Spring is a-comin’…… sometime.
I think you’re already awakening a bit – I read some “sap” in there somewhere (tee hee). Those were lovely blossoms and it would have been great if you could have taken some home with you to brighten your living area. ‘Course, I imagine the store would have preferred you pay for them first…
