Certain dim Tuesday mornings in November call for a pop of pink color. Faddegon’s to the rescue, with these exquisite orchid blooms – the antidote to any spell of dreariness. Weekly visits to the greenhouse will ensue shortly to keep spirits high as we transition into the winter. Everyone deals with the season differently – I tend to retreat to the beauty I find in flowers and plants – the fresh green to remind of the spring, the colorful blooms to remind of summer, and the vibrant color to remind of parties and gatherings of what feels like an entirely different era.
Both Andy and I have already begun the countdown to spring, and while it may feel early, we feel we’ve earned a little anticipation. In a little over a month, we will start the return to more daylight, and while that climb feels far away, I’ve learned that time hastens whether we wish it to or not.
In the meantime, there are greenhouses, and flowers, and greenery to be found if you know where to look, and sometimes you can bring a little of it home with you.
