Well another Christmas and New Year’s is in the books. I hope each of you had a wonderful holiday and got to spend time with family and friends. We went down to visit my dad a couple weeks before Christmas and my daughter/husband bought me a poinsettia from the kids at church (it was a fundraiser).

Either that or I over-watered them last winter. The poinsettia is my chance at redemption. If that doesn’t work, I’m open to suggestions.

Let me know if you have a favorite houseplant that I should try.

Until next…
