Mother Nature just doesn’t like Indiana right now. That’s the only conclusion I can draw. My hyacinths were coming up so nicely, and then she hit us with snow and freezing temperatures. Now, I’ve had snowy hyacinths before, and they’ve survived. This time, nope, no way! My poor hyacinths are all drooped over and just …
An update… My last docent class is this coming Saturday. I have my graduation tour date set, and I’m firming up the theme. I’ve got the art pieces picked out. I just need an audience!

Start with the basics… I’m not doing a no-shop January or February, but I am definitely being more intentional in my shopping. Truthfully, I haven’t seen anything I just have to have.
