I don't think I will ever have to buy a potted plant. It always seems like I am finding them in trash heaps, or in this case coming across abandoned plants. I know they are just plants but I always feel so bad for the little guys, hence why I have a whole garden in my dorm room.
My brother just bought a new apartment building in Gloucester, and while I was over there checking out the new property I found a poor shriveling plant in a plastic tupperware container, with it's soil dry as hell. Like always, I took him home and re-potted him, and, Guess what! He's a little baby Basil plant! The first of the many herbs I want to grow for my kitchen.

Today was beautiful, the first taste of spring in 2011. To get the feeling of spring in the house, my little sister, Bea, and I made made a collection of birds and bugs to hang on the potted Weeping Fig tree we have in our kitchen.
Below: I made the Robin, the Yellow bird and the ladybird and Bea made the Caterpillar and the Snowy Owl.
The dogs on a walk to the lake today, warm enough to swim but not warm enough to melt al the ice, Yikes! (Maggie up front, and Wellie in the back)
Enjoy the Weather!
