Watching plants grow still gives me joy.  The latest discovery was observing new growth on the Norfolk Pine we had just brought in a few weeks ago.  I had bought it last year for a Christmas tree and had placed it in front of our large living room window.

It was full when I bought it but over the last winter it lost quite a few branches and became straggly.  When it got warmer (it does not like temperatures below sixty) we put it outside.

At the advent of the cold weather we brought it in the house and placed it in a different spot several weeks ago.  It must like this spot better for yesterday I noticed new growth on it.

It looks like it may survive this winter.  I really don’t take credit for this but this made me happy.  It was just a small thing but it made me happy.
