spring? are you out there?

The temperature in North Carolina has dipped down into the negative digits---and after a week spent indoors with two fighting three-year-olds I have a serious case of cabin fever and a major longing for spring.

These days I'm particularly thankful for Edgar's army of houseplants that serve as a reminder that there is life and sunshine waiting beyond the crust of ice. Now, to patiently await their arrival.  Key word: patiently.

May this jade add a little sunshine to your day as well.
