C'mon Spring...

We are pretending the weather is nicer out by adding plants to our abode.



I love the pot as much as the Bird's Nest Fern that fills it!



This Dracaena was once expected to spruce up our whole entry way, but does better in a empty corner.



Love the Tropical Fern, but I picked it for it's pot!  Sweet, eh?



Cute little Cyclamen.  It's been around forever.



This Boston Fern is full of life!



Are we in Hawaii, or did we just buy a Hibiscus plant?  Oh poo, it's the latter.



Hey Hibiscus, come in get in my hair where you belong.



Piper picked out these Tulips.  We'll soon find out if she has a green thumb!

Our dear friends had a little boy, so we are planning to bring them this Orchid plant.  I may never go visit just so we can just keep the plant here.  Not really, but wowzer - BEAUTIFUL!



Well, fellow Minnesotans, at least we can pretend it's beautiful outside by sprucing up the inside.  If this snow doesn't melt we're going to buy birds, to really make spring seem real.

Thinking of Sunny Warm Days

I'm so anxious for this snow to melt and to be planting a garden. Well, I actually don't do the planting- AT ALL, but my husband does. We usually have tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and then something new that we haven't tried before. Potatoes are one of our favorites, we like to dig them when they are small.

A favorite thing to do is page through the Seed Savers Catalog-
they are located in Decorah IA and carry heirloom seeds. The photos are beautiful and they have good descriptions of the seeds too. You can order from them  here:
We have been happy with what we have gotten from them in the past.

This is AB planting our potatoes on May 2nd last year. Good Luck!
