Wednesday Vignette


This is Fernando, who has come inside for the winter months. He is currently sitting in a pot of String of Hearts in our little mini greenhouse over the kitchen sink. I think he is ready for summer to return.

Wednesday Vignette is hosted by Anna at Flutter and Hum.

  1. Winter sun is so precious, and your cute flamingo reminds me of the approaching(!) summer!

  2. Sunshine and flamingoes. A warming thought on a 24degree day.

  4. I agree with Fernando, although I wouldn't mind spring happening before summer.

  5. Oh Phillip - that is adorable! I have a feeling I need to find emergency shelter for a lot of hitherto homeless plants before this weekend. It's going to be bad.... Fernando should thank his lucky stars he is not forgotten outside somewhere. Even if the light is slowly returning, it will be awhile before flamingo-friendly temperatures will follow.
