Broken Computer

Of all things my computer is now broken. So on occaision I may borrow my sons. Of course none of my pictures are here or at least not too many as I once had to use this computer awhile back so I know I have some older pictures saved on here. I have 2 computers now and one doesn't work and the other is slower than turtle. I am grateful to be alive! I won't dwell on the negative. There are so many postive things happening today. I can't forget the new roof going up over head above my studio. The owner has sprung for a new roof. I will endure all of this noise for a new roof. Today is supposed to be the coldest day yet well yes it is a frigid cold 24 outside. Bless those men working in this cold.....they had sun all day so I am sure that helped. Here they come again stocking the roof and then maybe they will be done banging for the day. Where ever you are be grateful for today for if you are reading this you are alive! This poinsettia has been alive and is currently just starting to turn red again. It just bloomed this past summer and skipped last Christmas. So maybe now it had adjusted itself. This year I want to get a Christmas cactus for Glenna's Garden. Do you grow holiday plants?

WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY

The weather outside is a chilly 25 degrees today in Manchester, NH. Warm inside Glenna's Garden studio. The poinsettia plant here has been earnestly working to change to red up through the stems and out through a few leaves the red pigment has started to flow. I thought I would share a picture of that today. It is actually very interesting how a poinsettia plant gets its' red because the rest of the year the leaves are a deep evergreen. The answer is to give the plant the right amount of darkness. Darkness falls on the plant in the room where it is and it always gets longer in the winter. Thus we have evergreen leaves that turn to red right around Christmas time. The poinsettia plant will bloom and that is when you get the yellow at the end. When that occurs with our lovely large poinsettia plant here at Glenna's Garden studio I will share it with you. Don't forget to stop on by our shop in Manchester, NH at www.gnormyle.etsy.com HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Thank you kindly for dropping by. It all began in a garden!
