Today has been a mix of opposites. Sunny and 70 degrees one minute, black clouds and thunder the next. Ben and I spent our day running in and out of garden centers and changing clothes. We spent our late afternoon planting seeds in pots, and I started making terrariums. Terrariums are little gardens you can make in glass or plastic. I used some mason jars and a cute apple juice jar I got in NYC. You want to pick plants that have the same requirements (water, sunlight, soil), and won't mind being enclosed. They don't need a lot of water, because since they are enclosed it creates moisture against the glass and eventual falls watering itself. Pretty neat in my book.

Tonight Leslie is coming in town for a couple days. This is the first time in months she's been to Duluth and I am so excited to see her!
