Winter Blues Making You Feel Blah? Get Thee to a Greenhouse!
The problem with February? We have had ample time to have our fill of Indiana-located, preschooler-appropriate winter activities–sledding, ice skating, the building of stuff out of snow, the climbing upon great piles of snow plowed off of the street, etc.–and we have had ample time to have our fill of Indiana-located, preschooler-appropriate indoor activities–we’ve had a crafty Christmas, finished our handmade Valentines, read loads and loads of books, and played with little plastic ponies until I’ve started to talk in the pony voice sometimes without even being aware of it–”Neigh, neigh! Climb on my back and we’ll fly to Rainbow Land! Neigh!”
Ahem.
How refreshing it is, then, to occasionally pull on our boots and snowpants and bunny-ear hats and make the long hike over to the big university in our town, which has a biology department.
And that biology department?
Has a greenhouse.
And that greenhouse?
Is open to the public.
