Animal, Vegetable, Mineral?

With a little imagination and humor, you can find them all on my plant stand.

From the left: spider, cabbage, rubber.

Yes, spring has arrived and will soon turn into summer. So I’m enjoying this brief time when the windows can be open, no jacket necessary to step outside, and the houseplants get put into summer quarters.

Unless the little critters – real animals – enjoy digging in the soft potting soil too much, I expect in several months, when warm temperatures turn cool, these will be larger. And then the decisions about which plant to put where in my limited window space will begin all over again.

Don’t like the first trio? Try the second.

Yes, I’m aware the animal is fake. But getting a chipmunk to sit in place is beyond my patience.
