it's national "take a chance" day for whimsical wednesday! take a chance on something, anything, great or small.
i took a chance this whimsical wednesday. i took a chance on saving a transplanted african violet. a transplant from mom's main african violet was brought home in january. it did well enough, slowly re-establishing itself in new soil, in a new pot, in a new environment. then i was gone for more than a month helping mom after her fall. in the meantime, unable to tend the transplant, it languished. when i got home i was sad it was limping along but watered it and hoped for the best. today i took the transplant from the pot and removed all the withered leaves. that left two obvious starts of a few green, supple leaves. those were divided and planted in two separate pots. after getting a drink of water the "new" plants were returned to the shelf under the sun room window. just seeing them, looking hopeful, made me glad i took a chance on saving the transplanted african violet for whimsical wednesday. film at eleven!

My kitties have been taking chances for the last 2 days. The guy is here working on projects in the house. Of course, a strange person with ladders and other strange equipment, making strange noises is someone to be very scared of. That means hiding under beds and behind furniture just to be safe. BUT, occasionally, one takes a chance and slinks out, checking down hallways and around corners to make sure things are safe, to come say hi (or maybe what is going on here???) to me. I have been tickled with them!
ReplyDeleteoh! those kitties to have their peace and quiet disrupted. they are brave to take a chance to venture forth!
