Go Green

Growing up, our home, inside and out, was filled with green..plants, flowers, shrubs and trees. As you know, our mom has a green thumb. The greenest one I know. Once, on summer break from college, I brought home a stick plant with one leaf remaining. Needless to say, she brought it back to life ~ a true miracle. Get this --> her poinsettias last all year long. Mine are lucky to make it to Christmas.

Sadly, I did not inherit her green thumb. Pretty much anything I try to grow ends up dying or pretty close it. So what I have decided is this..lately, I have been trying to have a fresh bunch of flowers on my table. Front and center. Tulips are a current favorite as a sign of spring. Better yet, I found some branches recently - pussywillow and forsythia. I popped them into tall vases for dramatic displays. It may be "cheating" a little, but I like having green around.
