Mutant Carrot… nuff said

This very strange looking carrot was pulled out of my garden today. About 7” long and exactly like this. It was not cut in half. Nature can be so fascinating. 

Transplanted Snake Plant… the healthiest and one of the loveliest plants to have in your house

 

Snake Plants are not only lovely, but are also an air purifier. They even clean toxins out of the air and you can really fit them into almost any house or apartment, as the footprint isn’t large. I have loved them since I was a child. My favourites by far are these yellow edged ‘swords’.

Mine had become very tall and spindly. I have now transplanted it into a clay pot that allows about 1” of space between the plant and the edge of the pot. I also filled the bottom of the pot with about 3” of small white orchid stone. 

Remember Filofax?

I still love my old 1980’s Filofax. They were a full system organizer before we had everything in our devices. These photos are from 9 years ago. Well… I am really missing it. It is so old school and fun to personalize. I am going to update it in the new year and figure out exactly how to use it. I am pretty sure I will use a hybrid of iPad for everything and Filofax for appointments and events only. I will post an after… well, after.
