Saturday afternoon of a long weekend in Ikea... Why did we did this to ourselves?!!

Mom wanted to look at the couches. 10 minutes in and it was clear there was nothing for us but too late! We were trap in the Nordic evil maze for an hour and a half! We end up with 4 plates for my brother (he had only bought 4 individual ones instead of buying a whole set directly ) and rolls of sticky papers for clothes.

There were cute little pin trees, they were so adorable but mom was like duh you've got enough plants at your apartment and it's going to get big and NO WAY you are putting a pin tree in our garden when it'll happen. Dad was already at the check out Now I want a mini pin tree  *pouts* Maybe I can convince them to stop at the nursery shop before going home

Hey G, I'd take blizzard if it means being stuck in bed with that

Ikea is something that should only be done once every couple of years... those arrows on the floor don't help!   Hey, Tink.  Maybe get a tree and turn it into Bonsai.

Oh yes, I'm vaccinated for a decade at least! 

I like bonsai. I also have my eyes one a beautiful plant with pink and a bit of green leaves. And about 10 others varieties.

At the apartment I've got a dark pink winter cactus, a white one, the purple mini orchid, an aloe vera and a pot with a couple of plants in it. Scrolling through Pinterest the other night I was looking at those installations with pots on a piece of wood attached to the wall with cords and thought it would look good on the big wall going from the dinning table to the couch but I'm short legs so it wouldn't be easy when watering. I even went so far as considering a treillis 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have a room full of geraniums, all of them flowering, I have a mini rosebush on my dining room table (it's starting to go to sleep), a fern mixed with two other plants (all greenery) in a little galvanized pail on my breakfast/family room table under my new light fixture, and the biggest pot of geraniums, in an old laundry tub, you've ever seen that sits on the floor in front of my floor to ceiling dining room window.   They are my friends.

I have a thing with geranium... My grandma has lot of them in large rectangular planting pots on a half wall that leads to the cave's stairs in the veranda. More than once as a kid while playing or just leaning against the wall they were push down directly at the bottom of the stairs... Oops 🤭

I'd love to have a bonsai tree or two, myself. Maybe I can train my rosemary plants.

So, uhm, what did you do with the fella from yesterday? If you're finished with him I could use his help.

I'm thinkin' that much rain at once could mean flooding. Neither is somethin' I want to deal with.

Greetings Albert. We had a busy day prepping for the trip south at the end of next week. I overdid it a bit and aggravated a migraine but now we're resting. I'm sharing excerpts from the forum with mum.

What are duck donuts?  Donuts shaped like a duck?
