A Sunny Day

I have been experimenting with my camera, trying to capture a picture of how my plant shelf looks with the sunlight shining through the window. I think I finally got the picture I want today.

I love having house plants, especially in the winter when the only green plant outdoors are the pine and spruce trees, and even they are often heaped with snow. Jonathan put this shelf over the kitchen sink for me, and it is a wonderful place to keep some plants. I have aloe, rosemary, a spider plant and parsley.  On the other side of the kitchen, I keep a philodendron on top of a partial wall. I would like to eventually have more house plants.  I think Snake Plants are so pretty!

Today is very sunny, and quite warm. The little snow we had on the ground is melting rapidly.  We have really been having an unusually sunny December, which I am thankful for. There are some winter months when the sun only shines one or two  days out of the whole month, and oh, how I do miss sunshine!

I was able to take our girls outside for a long walk this afternoon, carrying Eden in my new Ergo! It is such a comfortable baby carrier! I hope to do a post about baby wearing soon.
