Wednesday Vignette; mama needs a greenhouse

My friend Denise, mother of one and casual plant enthusiast (we worked together back at my last office job), fell hard for a few less-than hardy plants over the summertime. When the temperatures fell she looked around for a solution and decided to  requisition her son's playset. 


A little plastic...

And everybody's cozy...

      Maybe there's one in your neighborhood that's available for rent?

    I was just looking at Victorian type glass houses on the GI website. This is much more affordable.

      And it serves a purpose in the "off" season.

    Best use of one of those play forts I've ever seen!

      You mean you don't fancy a trip down the slide every now and then?

      Hmmm... makes me wonder how your greenhouse is filling up? Maybe a blog post soon?

      I asked her and she said he was okay with it... evidently he's not one to enjoy being outdoors when it's cold.

    Oh, that's great! Super resourceful, and I bet the kid doesn't mind much either. It seems most of those play sets have a very limited shelf life.
