me and the sky

I basically slept all weekend and it was fantastic Really recharged all my batteries.

Seems like you've had a really busy weekend Chelle! Sounds like a lot of work but I hope it pays off and you can enjoy your plants and garden more

Chelle

It sounds like that you did way more than just watch LA Any pics of the plants?

That's wonderful Kate

My weekend went by in a blur... My sister & family left the house this morning, me & mom had a great day with cleaning up everything after them... And I also need to figure out what I'm taking with me on Wednesday for the one week holiday in Spain...

I still managed to watch 3 episodes of The Mentalist in row

Amazingly yes did do more than watch LA

I repotted two more plants this afternoon. Not sure if they'll be happy or not but wanted to give them more room. Well one I potted as it was one I just bought & was still in the store pot

Pictures:

Sleeping sounds like a nice way to rest up before returning to work . Hope your first day back goes well Kate

Your holiday is so soon now Hanna Good luck with the packing

Hey all

me and the sky

Hi Scooty!

Oooh a week in Spain sounds delightful Hope you have a fab time!

Chelle, those look awesome Hopefully they will thrive in their new homes! I love seeing plants that I couldn't have here in the frozen lands of north Europe, they look so interesting to me (not that I have any sort of green thumb but I like looking at plants and flowers)

I made it through my first day! It wasn't too bad though I could feel it getting tired, as was expected. But then when I did come home I had a nice nap so it was pretty good all in all.

Hey all

It sounds wonderful, especially that rainy weather is supposed to return to NL... Which means that this is going to be the perfect time to get away... Also work has been really stressful lately, and it will be nice just to not worry about any pallets, shipments, containers, complaints, etc for a week...

Chelle, thanks for the pictures It's wonderful to see that spring is on its way over there... Our plants are turning yellow-ish outside, and even the 200 + indoor plants know that winter is in the corner...

Kate, that's great to hear that you had an okay day! And that you could take a nap afterwards

My day was good, not overly busy, even though today it was me, myself & I working and getting almost everything done... Packing wise I'm not too worried, I'm only taking a small backpack with me, which should be enough for a week. Especially that I'm only taking my phone with me this time around...

Hi Leigh (scooty) Hope all is well with you .

Hopefully they'll be happy . Shame you can't have plants Kate . Maybe you need to find one that likes cold weather & thrives on neglect? How would a succulent go? You might be able to keep them indoors? & they don't need much...
With my mild winter most of my plants don't 'die off' too much. Some of them are meant to be indoor plants too. Just the white pot with the flower is one which will either just die or return next spring if I'm lucky. My fuchsia's aren't showing signs of spring yet
I find it interesting even your indoor plants respond to the weather change

Glad you made it through the first day Kate

Sounds like a nice day Hanna . Good thinking for the packing too

me and the sky

I have some indoor plants that can put up with me watering them maybe once a week if I remember But sadly none will make it on my balcony over winter so I only get one outside flower pot/greenery for the summer and see how long it lasts Usually not too long I just usually love seeing others have fun and new plants that I couldn't handle, so I'm glad you shared your newest pottings Chelle

That sounds great Hanna, glad you're getting a break from all the work stress and can just unwind and relax. That's so important!

At least you get something

Plants can be so picky sometimes

(if anyone hears about an earthquake in Australia it wasn't near me)

florerr

Chelle, that's good to hear that it happened far from you.

I'm already in Spain, probably not going to post much until next Wednesday.

Just wanted to quickly say hi

me and the sky

Enjoy your vacation and soak up the sun (in a safe way of course) Hope you have a fab time!

Yes Chelle, always better than nothing. And good to hear that the earthquake wasn't near you. Those always sound so scary

shinebrighterxx

Have fun Hanna

They are . Australia is fortunate in that we are on a tectonic plate not on a fault line (our neighbours like New Zealand & Indonesia are on the fault line) so we are relatively safe. It is more NZ we hear about & support. So our earthquakes are formed differently & not as dangerous. But this one was felt quite far from where it happened. Even Tasmania (the island at the bottom of the country) reported they felt it despite the water between. When I was probably about 10 I felt one. It made my lamp fall off my bedside as it had been sitting on the edge (it fell on my bed so no damage). Thankfully that is my only earthquake story & I would love it to remain that way

me and the sky

Yeah we also are very safe from them here, I have personally never felt anything but I always get so spooked when I hear other places have had them, it just feels so massive to think about. I'm glad that is your only story though, and that even your lamp didn't get damagedor anything.

I saw my friend's 3-month-old baby for the first time today. He is so cute and so smiley! I'm really glad I could visit her and see the baby

Hi Leigh! Hope you're well!

Hi Leigh Hope all is well for you

It is crazy seeing what some places deal with with a few natural disasters Earthquakes are really freaky, especially since you have no warning for them

aww cute nice you got to visit
