thoughts on comments / greenhouse day

Since I had two days off in a row, I feel rested and ready to write! Sometimes it feels like I have nothing to say, but I've really surprised myself by how much I enjoy blogging. On that note, I want to say something about comments. First of all, I love when people leave a comment or message me privately in response to something I wrote about. Although I'm not looking for compliments, it's nice to feel more connected and has helped me to know I'm not alone. Even though I don't always reply, I read every comment. Since I feel like I've had my say, I like to leave the comments section for readers.

Today I went greenhousing! It was a cloudy, cool day so I thought it might not be so busy. Well, I guess it doesn't matter what the weather is, May is going to be a busy time to visit a greenhouse. Last night I decided exactly what I wanted to put in my planters so I could stay focused and not end up with stuff I didn't need or a wild conglomeration of colors. I pretty much stick to my favorites but it helps to know how I'm going to arrange them and how many I'll need. There's a greenhouse in Lancaster County that I've been going to the last few years because they usually have everything I want. Although I love visiting greenhouses, I don't have a lot of time to go here and there for what I want. Once again I was pleased with the selection and ended up spending almost the exact amount I had set aside from birthday money! Several succulents were part of my purchase. Although I haven't had such great luck with them, I'm not giving up yet! If anyone has tips on how to get them to grow indoors, let me know. I've been admiring the string of pearls plant so that was one I got.

The kitchen project is still in progress. We finished everything except the shiplap wall, so I was able to move back all the stuff that had been relocated to the living room. I know I've said it before, but I love the new look!

I'm working the next six days so need to get some rest. For those who have the weekend off, enjoy it!
