Of course there is a greenhouse in my livingroom this time of the year!

Wishing you all a very Merry Holiday Season!  Tis the time to enjoy all the people in your life and be grateful for all those who have been in your life!  I turned 80 this month so have been thinking of all those who have touched my life all these years!  Thanks for being there!

Enjoy the season, be safe and stay healthy!

Snowpeople keep warm in my kitchen!

Gee, look who moved into my kitchen table fairy gardens after Thanksgiving!

They are favorite people, I received them years ago from my granddaughter, Heather.  One is a a fishing snowman, representing Gramps and one likes flowers, which represents me!  Fond memories occur whenever they show up on the kitchen table each holiday season!

Frosty Ferns instead of Frosty the Snowman!

I always enjoy treating gardening friends to a bit of new plant life during the holidays!  There are four of us who usually spend a lunch time enjoying the holidays together and this year it is at  Karen's Dining Room.  While at Trader Joe's yesterday I spotted these frosty looking green plants and decided they needed new homes!  So into the cart they went to add a touch of  holiday frost on the table before they go home with my gardening friends!  

I think I have purchased these before in the spring for a Fairy Garden.....they are annuals or house plants for MN   The label says:  Selaginella Krausianna Variegatus

Requires bright indirect sunlight, water twice a week, fertilize monthly. Zone 6   Grows up to 6" Tall!

Tucked away for a long MN winter nap!

Finally these fairy gardens and potted hostas (ready for donation to a plant sale) are sleeping deep enough (froze) to be tucked in some extra winter protection in the garage!  And, it is cold enough in the garage to hopefully keep them from waking up until Spring!

Denny had to move all these pots by himself as I am still wearing those high fashion boots waiting for fractures to heal.  Dr. told me to keep them on my feet until we leave for AZ and then take them  off and leave them in MN!  So, I am counting the days and ready to pack up!

A neighbor takes over the fairy gardens care when we head south by adding a handful of snow on each pot a few times during the winter.  So nice to have a neighbor you can partner with on misc. chores during the year!
