Happy Thanksgiving!

 Also Happy Albania Independence Day! November 28 commemorates when Albania raised the Albanian flag in 1912 declaring independence from the Ottoman Empire. 

We aren't doing anything. Hubby worked last night so he is asleep for now. Later I will put a chicken in the oven. It's just the two of us and we aren't fond of turkey. I don't have anything major to write about so, just a list of odds and ends.

It's cloudy again today. My petunias are still green but no longer blooming. It's been in the 20's but will be in the teens at night for the foreseeable future. I think I will pull them. Poor things. They really hung in there!

Thank you to my friend for the compliment on my string of hearts. I have killed it in the past. I discovered why. This plant develops large potato-like tubers that hold a good amount of water. If the potting mix doesn't dry out quickly enough the tubers will rot overnight. My solution was to pot them in a shallow pot that was actually a plastic bowl that I made a bazzillion holes in. It fits as an insert into this beautiful ceramic bowl my daughter gave me.

This was some sort of food bowl that came with a frozen dinner hubby bought once.

Fred Ives, I'm done with you! (I still have the main "head") I'm ditching this and planting something else in this pot. Fred insists on growing HUGE and pale from not enough light.

Burrow's tail needs repotting and water! You can see Fred Ive's "head" in the background.

Miscellaneous Adromischus pot, the long-leaved one in the back is going to bloom. It's fussy. It will drop its leaves if it gets too dry and also if it stays damp too long.

Next I'm working on windows. These are double-pane windows with the worst frames ever. I need to line the lower 4 or 5 inches with bubble wrap to keep them from freezing. You can see how the moisture builds up and black mildew forms on the frames. Ugh. Every winter.

East window

South window has some bubble wrap but not enough. I will move the plants back a bit and add more bubble wrap.

Results tomorrow.

Note----I couldn't find anything about cell phones. We got new phones in January because our old phones were 4G only. Apparently 4G will still be supported but 5G rolled out and is faster. If you need a new phone, buy one that is 5G so it can use the faster networks. 

Have a great day!
