In the markets, we gathered up three hearty looking basil plants and brought them home with us. We banged the terra cotta, tucked in a plastic bag, to create a little piece with which to cover the hole at the bottom of the pot. (We giggled because it is fun to break things with a hammer.)We scooped some organic potting soil into our pots, lifted out the little plants from their plastic, allowing them a chance to spread their roots, room to grow. Into the pots they went with a bit of water. “Tucking them into their beds”, we patted down some more soil for support. Like horses, they both sleep and play standing up. After giving them another swig of water, we placed them gently in their new home on the window sill.
We gave them names: Queen Purple Macaroni and Isabelle, and I inwardly said a prayer for their life here with us. We have officially sprung!
Happy 1st year, Corner Viewers! I got a second chance at the Spring theme that I missed… but for my favorite CV of the past year check out the cuteness unveiled in this video CV. To go on a magical road through past posts and retakes on old themes, check out the Queen Purple Spanish Goddess of the Corner View, Jane of Spain Daily.
