#DriedTears

lots and lots of them

island time

...thinking about the fun sisters' week we had in Hilton Head earlier this winter.

Every year for the past number of years I've thought I should plan to fly somewhere warm in January or February. I've never executed the idea... until this year. Having now had the experience of spending a week in a warm(er) place during the winter has confirmed that scheduling time in the sun in the dead of winter is indeed a very good idea!

Plant Date

The houseplants have been looking neglected-- sort of like their vibrant green lives had been stuffed into pots and left to reach for tiny rays of sunlight from drafty corners of the apartment... in the dead of winter.

Hopefully they feel happier and more loved after Saturday morning's date: 

fresh soil and leaf-cuts all 'round.
