Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy and Sunny this week for Nature Friday~~

Our weather has been crazy this week.  It started out cold and then we got rain with warm temps and now it's back to cold.   

The only thing that we found on our walk worthy of a photo were these grasses~
Mom has African Violets and she was having trouble getting them to re-bloom.   They got fertilizer and they were kept on the dryer side and they are on pebbles and still no blooms so she went to Amazon to see how much grow lights cost.  She was pleasantly surprised to see that they are not pricey at all~
We're starting to see blooms FINALLY!
Happy Friday the 13th!
Love ya lots♥
Duke

  1. Oh Yikes, it is Friday the 13th! We are in the deep freeze but coming out this weekend. This time of year everything is dead so not much nature to photograph. Hopefully snow will come and brighten up our world soon.

    African violets are one of those plants that you need magic fingers for (or some sorta witchyness...) Those and cyclamens always defeated me! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  10. Nature or not, we always love to see you, Duke. Mom loves African violets and has stopped buying them for the same reason. Maybe she needs to look at some lighting too. But she also must water them too much because the bottom leaves always die and look terrible. Yours have pretty colors. And before we forget, you look so good in your coat.
