It may be the coldest week of the year (and the universe doesn’t have to keep breaking the record to prove me wrong) but inside the windows of our cozy home, there were the first signs of the spring to come, and the longer days already moving in the right direction. These are photos of our ZZ plant and a fern – both of which are sending out new shoots to indicate that their growing season is back in effect.
While the real thing is still a long way off, we are well over a month into winter, meaning we’ve already finished a third of it up. ‘Well begun is half done,’ or some such nonsense, and when you’re in the midst of winter, you’ll hang onto the lamest catchphrases if they give the slightest bit of hope, even if you have no idea how to use them correctly.
