Houseplant and Doll House Things
Written by admin on January 29th, 2008I’m nearly done rambling for the day. I promise.
The upstairs hallway is where I keep my houseplants. I had noticed of late that the asparagus fern was looking a little less energetic than usual. I figured I might as well spend some of my hallway-cleaning time on repotting the asparagus fern.
That’s what the cleaning schedule is all about after all — allowing me to spend time regularly focusing on various parts of the house without getting overwhelmed.
So out I went to the potting bench with the asparagus fern. I saw the problem immediately. I guessed as much. It was totally root bound.
Every time I took a step, Jasper was under my feet wanting attention. So I picked her up and held her for a little while.
Once done, it looked much better. Well, at least it looks like it has room to grow. I watered it good and took it back to its little “greenhouse” area upstairs.
The day ended with a package from my mom when I checked the mail. There were some great old photographs of my mother when she was a baby and my grandmother holding her. There was also a little wooden lamp for the doll house! She found it at a thrift store local to her.
The shade looks like cowhide! Cool, no?
