Heaven In A Glass Box

It looks as though Mother Nature decided she had been neglecting New Mexico of snow! So to make up for the past few years, she has decided to dump it all at once, and maybe throw in a blizzard! Bring forth the snow!!! I will frolic with my dogs and throw snow balls at my family!

This past weekend we had our first snow of the year! Woohoo! But I decided that I needed to get my photos more organized. So, I pretty much lived in my pj's all weekend and barely trudged through the snow! As I started pulling up my photos and wondering how certain pictures ended up in bizarre folders, I came across my flowers pictures.

Most of my flower pics came from the Texas Texas Greenhouse and Gardens. I loved working in the greenhouse. The warmth. The smells. The pretty flowers. There's a great feeling of warmth when you walk out of the 20 degree weather and into the humid atmosphere of a greenhouse. Literally, a great feeling of warmth! It's amazing how warm it is inside a box of glass filled with plants.

My favorite thing about the greenhouse was the way the air was filled with the smells of the outdoors and felt like a warm summer morning in Virginia. The greenhouse I took care of, greenhouse 3, was like my own personal jungle. It was home to mostly all indoor plants, so the main color was green. Not just one green though, but variations of greens. I would spend hours in there watering, fertilizing, cleaning, rearranging, and just sitting between the jade plants and ficus trees contemplating life. It was my personal heaven in a glass box.
