This African violet is blooming on December 22. I have had potted plants for decades, never having luck getting African violets to bloom until moving to Canada, now it seems I can’t prevent them from blooming.
Its colour is very welcome on this gray and grismal day.
This is one thing I puttered about today. We had some electrical work done and the prep work included unloading a bookcase. I re-stacked many of the books, roughly following the Dewey Decimal System, as well as found a restung place for a few of Faye’s gargoyles,
Faye recently found this bookcase at Sally Ann. It perfectly fits this space and is now loaded with our fiction collection, DVD and VHS (yes we will have VHS tapes!), and a few other things.
We were very fortunate to not see the icing and snow that other parts of southwestern Ontario got during the past day or so. A few of our online friends are without hydro, and I wish for them that it’s restored soon.
Here in Dresden we’ve gotten 1.30″ (39-ish mm) of rain since yesterday morning. Much of the snow is gone had it’s a sloppy mess outside. We’ve largely stayed in today, puttering on various projects. Faye and I did walk the dogs a short time ago. Now Stella is ensconced on the couch.
