what's your excuse?
The temperature finally cracked the 0F mark, and I left the house after nearly 72 hours of self-confinement. I'm sure it will come as no surprise that my first outing was to the garden center to buy houseplants on sale. Above is my new mini-terrarium and very first African Violet. I've had this head hanging around the basement for years while I waited for inspiration to strike me on how best to use it. I'm satisfied with the symbolic, aesthetic, and practical aspects of this arrangement. Hopefully, the terrarium effect will prolong the life of the plant, or least give it a good head start.
