New Life

Temperature -5, snowing from the afternoon, strong and very cold east wind. Winter storm is forecast.

I didn't have to think about going out. Poor Mr S had to pop in the grocery shop. 

We had a cooking day.
I also had a spring time with one plant of ours. I bought this Clerodendrum thomsoniae, maybe 'bleeding glory-bower' in English, almost two years ago. It hasn't flowered at all. A couple of months ago I read care instructions of the plant, how to get it flowering. They were very different from what I got from the flower shop seller. The instruction now was to trim the plant this time a year, I did. Also changed soil. That's it, now just waiting...
