After our "winter that wasn't," this is the earliest that my winter aconite has bloomed. It's supposed to go down to -10°c next week, but these are tuff little plants!

I'm seeing loads of posts from #KidLit authors (including me) willing to virtual visit with MN classes who are on lockdown or doing virtual school right now or just in need of something exciting, fun, or kind in their day.

I was gifted this small poinsettia 3 years ago and have been keeping it as a houseplant. Repotted it once last summer, but otherwise, I haven't fertilized or anything. For the first time, it is reblooming! 🌱 🪴
