Day 173: our greenhouse

Hi again,
Today I am thankful for our greenhouse. A few years ago we built our own greenhouse and it has become like my second home during the warmer months. lol Even while recovering from surgery I managed to take care of a few plants. I couldn't lift anything but I had help with that so I could still grow flowers. Sometimes it seems like the only thing I am good at but at least I am good at something! :) I like tending to the plants and watching them grow-it is almost like therapy. I find it very relaxing and I would not be able to do this as much as I do without the greenhouse. The most I have ever grown in one year is about 400 plants which was too much for me. lol I usually grow a couple hundred even though it never seems like that much. So you can see how I spend alot of time in the greenhouse! It also gives me a purpose, a reason to get up- something needs me. They may not be another person or even a pet but the plants are alive and will die if not taken care of. A couple of days ago, I started being able to take my little seedlings out into the greenhouse during the afternoon because it has been warm enough outside and in the greenhouse for them and that is partly why I am feeling so thankful for our greenhouse today. The seedlings will grow into much nicer plants in the greenhouse than if they sat by a window. So this is why I am thankful for our greenhouse. :)
