February 10, 2016... musings on a cold winter day...

Wednesday, February 10, 2016 8:49

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Several days ago, we went to a home improvement store to pick up some needed items, and they had a fairly large display of orchids for $5.00 each! I have longed for an orchid for a number of years, but was simply too stingy to pay the price. Now I have one! I hope it survives. My Garden Fairy has always had success with orchids, and perhaps with her coaching me….

As you can see, we’ve had a bit of snow and today, right now, it is 17 degrees F. here. I have seen it much colder than this (-28 degrees F one time), but this is cold enough!

Have you seen on the internet how people regrow celery and such by saving the bottom part of the plant? I’ve done that, and actually planted the celery in my vegetable garden with some success. Right now, I have 4 different vegetables growing that way on our kitchen windowsill.

Here is some Red Leaf Lettuce:

And a “red” cabbage:

Bok Choy:

And lastly, iceberg lettuce!

They add a cheery sight to the wintry landscape for me. We will eat the little nibbles they are growing.

So far, this winter, I’ve had 10 different varieties of wild birds visit my bird-feeding station. Here is the list:

Black Capped Chickadee

Nut Hatch

Tufted Titmouse

Junco

Cardinals

Sparrow

House Finch

House Wren

Brown Thrush

Flicker

The Flicker just showed up this morning and he seems to really favor the new suet crumbles that I made, so I’m glad I made them, even though I only saved 88 cents. :)

I have two loaves of my Every Day natural yeast bread rising in the pans. If you come over in maybe 3 hours, I can give you a warm slice with butter.

How does that sound?
