My boys were home yet again as school buses were not running Monday with the -44C temps.
To keep them a little on the busy side, they put together this greenhouse of sorts.

My oldest had brought a plant home from school last year and was very proud of the fact that it had grown to 14", it was just getting so "all stalk with a tuft of leaves" looking.
I suggested it was high time to try and gain control of the situation before the poor coleus met it's maker. So with the weather at it's worst (again) I dug out an old fish aquarium, cleaned it out, checked the lights (Yay! they work) and the boys proceeded to add action figures and the like.
CJ added some of his drawings along with Dan's as a background!
They have some orange seeds in here as well that are just starting to sprout!
So Old Man Winter,
we
choose
to
and bring some green into our scene!
Tomorrow, some stitching pictures.

And that is entirely the right attitude.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed that I wasn't following you on GFC. How did that happen? Very clever idea for giving the kids something to do! We're supposed to have a big winter storm last week. ugg
ReplyDeleteVery cool "greenhouse" scene. This winter really has been brutal. I'm sooooo looking forward to Spring. I would use a different drawing, but it would probably offend some people. ; )
ReplyDeleteSo old man winter we choose to... That picture made me laugh. I'm thinking about starting a few seeds on the window sill soon. It's time for a taste of Spring.
