Poinsettias in February, or What's Left of Ginny's 2007 Christmas Explosion???

I do not have the grandkids after all. Seems Tony decided to play plumber at his house today and remodel a bathroom. So I postponed plans to make tortellini and started two new books. I watered my mega super uber plant in my living room, the one I absconded with from the chapel a year or so ago when it was dying. Then I focused on the Christmas flowers a few feet away....this room must have the perfect light for plants. I have never had a green thumb, but on the east side of this house, plants thrive! I do believe they also love the music I play too. Well most people would think that's plain nonsense. But these are God's living nature creations, and they can respond with enthusiasm if they like something. WEll, anyway, just wanted to point out that the top one is actually a Presbyterian poinsettia. I go to the Presbyterian church on Wednesday mornings for the interdenominational Bible study. A couple of weeks after Christmas, the pastor came into our group and offered leftover poinsettias to anyone who wanted one, as his parishoners had taken all they wanted. At that time, no such offer was made by the Catholic leadership of St. Peter's. I had made the required $10 offering in the memories of Harold Johnson, Jesus and Maria Camacho, but it wasn't looking like I was going to have the red flowers from St. Pete's. So I got me one of those Presbyterian ones, and would you believe, it is sprouting whole new stems at the bottom. I put it on the little table above the three that I did eventually get from the altar of St. Peter's. The Catholic poinsettias are also very content, losing very few leaves at this point, looking very much like they did when Fr. Dan offered them on a Sunday in mid-January. Otherwise, they were going to the eternal poinsettia garden, he said. AFter everyone had a chance to get theirs, I went back to church late in the evening to find at least 25 remaining. So I grabbed 2 more, and I have an interdenominational poinsettia garden right in my living room just next to my "rescued" mega super uber plant. You may notice the snowlady sitting on the bench. Carrie, Cora, and Hannah brought her to me when I finished chemo back in late Nov. I love her. This corner of my Christmas Explosion may not get put away this year.

Hey I don't know if this stuff is funny, or the least bit interesting, but I just wanted to prove that I can think/write about something besides my grandkids and myself!
