The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Winter Botany


 

I planted some seeds in either January or February, and they finally started sprouting not too long ago. I'd like to tell you what type of plant they are but none of them look anything like the pictures on the packets, so I'm not really sure myself. I planted some more flower seeds a week or so ago, and those have little baby sprouts. Hopefully, they'll continue to grow up through the fall. It's nice to have some color in my house.
