Happy Birthday to my nephew Daniel! Woo hoo!
When I was trying to decide what road trip to make this weekend, I seriously considered visiting an African violet greenouse that I went to many years ago. They sell a wonderful variety of plants. The big drawback is that it’s in western New York state – a five our drive away. I decided not to go.
But I couldn’t stop thinking about walking through a greenhouse filled with beautiful greenery, so I went to Homestead Gardens down by Annapolis.
So green and beautiful.
It was amazing and restorative. I walked through the whole place three times. I was most excited when I passed by the checkout, because there was a drink cooler there with the most delicious grape juice I have ever tasted. I’d had it on a previous visit, so I knew how good it was.
So flavorful and sweet.
I did get some plants. It’s been a long time since I got new houseplants. I got the Purple Passion plant out of a sense of nostalgia. I got the Rattlesnake Plant because it looks like someone colored on it with a magic marker. I haven’t yet decided where they will go in my house, so for now they’re on the dining room floor.
The new additions
I think I know what your next house should be like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30ghnDOFbNQ Skip ahead to the 2:40 mark to see what they’re up to. Your house inside a greenhouse! Think of the plants you could grow!!
Happy Birthday, Daniel!!!! AND Happy Valentine’s Day To Brad & ALL His Friends!!!!! <3 Aunt Bev 🙂
…. and a Happy Valentine’s Day to you, too! 🙂
Happy Birthday, Daniel!
Gus doesn’t “do things” to plants left on your floor then? Good kitty! We gave up on any house plants – regardless where they were put – eons ago. Sigh.
