| Flowers on the Anthurium Plant |
The anthurium plant I bought at the beginning of December 2023, is not only alive, but, flowering too!
I've had a couple of busy days. On Sunday, I picked the groceries I had ordered. I couldn't access the store website through their app to let them know that I had arrived at the parking lot and let them know which parking spot I was at, so, I had to go into the store and asked a cashier to let the "click and pick" team know that I was waiting at the front of the store. I had to talk to two cashiers before someone brought the groceries over, but, at least I received everything I had ordered and there were no substitutions. In addition to the Thanksgiving dinner items, I also stocked up on coffee for my daughter (buy 1 get 1 free) and another container of half and half for her.
I also did two loads of laundry, dusted and vacuumed the living room and dining area, took out the serving dishes I will need for Thursday, and made the cranberry sauce.
On Monday, daughter and I had an appointment with our financial planner to go over some things. We bought hamburgers and fries on the way home for our brunch. After resting for a bit, I did some paperwork, dusted and vacuumed the family room and checked in with former neighbor T's daughter K, to ask how T was doing (T has not been answering the phone, lately, so I talk to K, instead). I made egg salad sandwiches for dinner and made some extra egg salad for sandwiches for Tuesday's brunch, too.
Plans for Tuesday include an appointment with my ophthalmologist in the morning. We are supposed to have some scattered light showers all day; the garden would appreciate some rain.
I am grateful for:
- Being able to order groceries online and pick up at the store
- Having all the groceries I wanted
- Safe drives to and from the various places I've had to go to
- Working appliances
- Anthurium flowers
I hope everyone is keeping well.
You've had some productive days. Hope you Thanksgiving prep continues to go well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, June. I hope preparations for your Thanksgiving are going well, too. :)
DeleteI'm always fascinated by the flowers on Anthuriums. While the leaves look as fragile as other plants, the flowers look almost manmade out of some strong polymer!
ReplyDeleteWe have snow on the ground. Now the squirrels have no secrets, we can see their tracks!
I guess, technically speaking, what we refer to as the anthurium flower is a spathe, but, yes, it looks like it was made of plastic, doesn't it?
DeleteSnow! What fun to see the animal tracks! We had some rain! More of a drizzle than a proper shower of rain, but, we'll take what we get!
Sounds really productive! The plant looks good, the flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. I'm trying to get things done without getting too tired. I seem to tire very quickly.
DeleteI'm sorry about the circumstances, but it must be nice getting to spend this time with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteIt's bitterly cold here. There's a hard frost this morning. Xx
Thank you, Jules. Yes, it is lovely to have this extra time with my daughter. Brr! It sounds cold up there! Bundle up warmly when you go outside and stay warm when you are inside, too.
DeleteYou were busy last week getting things done ahead of time for Thanksgiving along with other things.
ReplyDeleteI know Thanksgiving is over but I do hope your holiday was nice and you enjoyed the food & company.
Yes, the Thanksgiving preparations kept me busy! Especially because my daughter couldn't do as much as she normally does to help me with things. But, yes, we did have a nice Thanksgiving and the food and company were great. :)
