If your African violets take too much of your time, then you are giving them way too much attention. Honestly, I barely acknowledge mine and they are gorgeous year round. I think too many people want African violets to seem like they need special care. They don't. I have dropped, crushed, over-watered, under-watered, drenched in hot sunlight, left in the dark, and failed to re-pot my African violets for years at a time. They still reward me with blooms whether or not I deserve it. I have heat intolerance from multiple sclerosis, so I keep my apartment cool (most would say COLD) year round. I drop everything, including the African violets. I might take the dust off their leaves once a year. In the winter I hardly ever turn on the heat, so it's normally at 45-55 degrees; I tell people I keep it warm enough in the winter so the African violets don't freeze. In the summer the temperature cannot go higher than 70 degrees or lose my right leg, right hand and most of my cognitive abilities; at times the air conditioner has the apartment down to 60 degrees all day. I don't provide them with any special lighting. I water them when I am physically able to lift the jug. I always add food to the water, because with my short-term memory loss can never worry about a feeding schedule. I have mine in pots with holes in the bottom sitting on top of a tray of aquarium stones. If the stones look dry, I water the stones. My African violets LOVE living here! They have healthy foliage and gorgeous flowers. In the wild, no one fusses over them. They get gnawed on and stepped on. African violets acclimate very well to many different conditions. They survived before people came along to take care of them. It's a shame to get rid of plants you have cared for. Just stick them somewhere and forget about them. If they look like they are wilted, water them.

Wendy, Thank you so much for your box. I recieved it as I was walking out the door heading for my long drive to DC. I hurried and opened it and wrote a note to Jason with directions for the plants. The plants looked great and I love everything else that you sent :) Wendy sent me 4 plants, one that I know is sedum, and maybe a vine looking plant, and the other two I am not sure of. - pot hanger decorations, I do not know the 'real' name of what they are. But they are really cute and will look good on some of the pots that I painted :) -lighthouse statues -little stand with a flag -scrapbooking paper -butterfly windchime... that was my favorite!! If I forgot anything, please remind me! Again, I was on my way out the door, and I am writing from memory. Thank you so much Wendy, I loved your gifts!

Thanks Ya'll! Ya'll don't be shy, just enter on the post about the give away:D You may have to create a free google account to do that! Ya'll, it's even cold here in the South!In the low 20s at night, with 12-17 wind chill. If you've ever been in the humid South when it gets cold, you know it's painfully cold. My grandson is sick AGAIN. Bronchitis...AGAIN. He's now taken another round of antibiotics, and they've prescribed liquid Lortab, I didn't even know it came in a liquid form. That's for the pain he has trying to breathe, it hurts his little chest so bad, and his little baby lips turn purple. He was delirious and had 103 temp, but they didn't keep him long at the hospital this time. The school keeps a breathing machine up there, so all we had to do was bring his own mask and prescription, and he has to have breathing treatments 4 times a day for the next 90 days....right about the time Spring gets here,huh? and all the pollen! Everything covered in yellow sludge.

I think my DH might be a hoarder because he keeps everything and continues buying and never has a desire to go through and clean out. I on the other hand don't hesitate to remove things I'm not using. He is letting me clean his closet and I've already removed 7 bags. There's so much stuff he has accumulated it will take time to sort it all out and reconfigure his whole closet but I'm very happy that he's letting me do this. This part of the house has been like a black hole to me and now I'm going in there to shine some light on it and cleaning is the greatest feeling and then I'm going to paint it, too.

I commented at your blog that I'd like to participate but wasn't sure if you have any way of getting in touch with me via my post! lol! So here I am expressing my desire to get involved in your give away (I'm also known as The Kat on the blogs).

I hope you have an awesome birthday (you don't look like you are 45 let alone going on 50)! I also hope you and your DH have a wonderful anniversary!

Kudzu,

I turned 50 last October. I did not take it very gracefully, I must admit. I refused any kind of celebration. I figured I had celebrated enough by gaining 20 lbs this year. I pouted and started looking for trouble in the mirror. And I found it!!! The old woman was there pointing out things to me that I had not noticed before. She was making some of it up though. She made me so mad one day I sprayed WINDEX on her.

You really do look great at Fifty!!!!!! And you have a lot of really wonderful stuff going on with your life. Your wisdom and talent is appreciated by everyone who reads your blog and your postings here!!! Plus each Birthday is a ROMANTIC celebration as well!!!! I hope this is the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy birthday and Happy Anniversary!!!

I turn 5-0 in June... yuck. When I complained to my mother about turning 50 she said she'd trade me!!! She also said her 50's were her best years so maybe it won't be that bad. Have you also been thinking, "Where has the time gone?" 50 years sure does fly by. I try to tell myself that 50 is the new 30 but somehow that doesn't help much! LOL

ENJOY! ENJOY! I do read your blog quite often and you are a FONT OF CREATIVITY!!!!! I marvel at your imagination!

Thank you Thank you ...all! I just posted a sneak peek photo of part of what I'm giving away! So there's still time to sign up:D Winner chosen Friday!
SunnyCa- Jan! So funny about the water! My twin sister and I were born exactly nine months to the day after my parents bought this place. It has artesian springs :D Soooo......after that,there were people from miles around coming to fill up their buckets with my parents water thinking it would make the women-folk fertile! I don't know how fertile the women got, but I sure think the water makes us sassy!
