may you bloom and grow, bloom and grow forever

We did Terrariums this month after Christmas... 

I'm amazed its still living really. One of the websites that I checked out said, 'able to live up to a few years'.  Hmmm.  They've obviously never seen how fast I can send a houseplant to the compost heap.

Anyway, to commemorate our hopefulness, heres a little Shel Silverstein (C-girls favorite) with 'Goodnite Little Houseplant'

Goodnight little houseplant asleep on the sill
I'll pull the shades so you don't catch a chill
And tomorrow in the morning don't be breakfast for two
We'll have ham and eggs for me and nitrogen for you
Goodnight little houseplant tucked in your clay pot
Make sure you don't catch Huntington's Rot
Remember little houseplant stay away from them bees
I've heard they may carry a social disease
Goodnight little houseplant goodnight
Here's your glass of water should I leave on the light
Tomorrow we'll talk of the things that we did
I love you little house plant who needs women and kids

Good luck little guy, you're gonna need it.
