Needed some plant time today on what would’ve been my adoptive mum’s birthday. It’s miserable day outside so my slightly sad looking variegated chain of hearts will have to do for now.

Shelby lives on my shelves in front of my bedroom window. I rescued her from outside last winter where frost had left her with only one leaf left that hadn’t gone to mush, despite having been undercover.

She’s a reminder to me that things can live on after adversity. She may not be thriving as much as she would have outside during spring and autumn but seeing each new leaf makes me happy, especially on days like today.
