Hiver. Winter. Invierno.

It's that time of year again. The temperatures have held in the low 40's both day and night this week and I could almost hear the plants rejoicing at being brought inside.Corrine's orchid is quickly catching mine in size. It was a rough year for my orchid, and I though this last bloom would kill him-but alas he fought back against his torn and broken fronds growing a new shoot of leaves straight off the middle of his stalk.
The succulents are multiplying. I don't know where I'm going to put them all!
A photo that does justice to this weather-and the emotions it embodies. Tomato plant I offer you honor and thanks for loyalty and fruits this year. You are a good plant friend. I will miss your cheery red welcome.
Ahhh, the last stronghold of summer. "Yet I say to you not even Solomon in all his glory was dressed as one of these".
It makes everything a little bit better.


But the good news is our baseboard heater we forced management to install last year is awesome! Our apartment is warm and it runs off a separate breaker so I can use the microwave, coffee maker, and hairdryer without blowing a fuse. Maybe winter won't be so bad after all this year.
