No word of a lie.

Angela and India gave us this plant this past weekend that is growing so fast that the container it is in actually vibrates at times. (And no, it's not where it's placed as other lighter things on the table don't shake.) Its buds were shooting up at about 1 cm. an hour! Seriously. It may seem slow but have you ever watched a plant grow before?

This little plant with its green and dirt and flowers has brought me immeasurable happiness with all the ice and snow and cold. There is hope.

Bloom little blooms, bloom.
