Almost done with winter

I still like looking at snow. I don't mind driving in it. But I am tired of slogging through it on dog walks and I'm tired of winter wear - long pants, long sleeves, wool socks, parkas, etc. By the end of the month, I should be completely over it.

Inside, the Thanksgiving cactus is blooming again. A pleasant surprise.

I almost submitted a purchase for some plants yesterday, but didn't pull the trigger. Not because I don't want the plants, but I could feel my decisions being influenced by the sales and groupings in the catalog. For example, there is a build-your-own-tray offer, but not all the plants I want are available for that option. I did not want to build a tray populated in part by plants I did not want or too many of the plants I do want. A more methodical method of shopping is required.
