There's a whole lot of happy in these bud vases! Each one has the beginnings of three new Pothos plants. It only takes one little root nub per plant in order for it to start to root in water. The cutting may only have one leaf, but it will take root and become a whole new plant! When they are ready, I will add some of them to pots that need more fullness than the plant already in it has. I can't wait to have a big lush yellow Pothos and start some new neon lime plants as well! See a close-up photo in the comments. These baby plants would make great gifts!! Who likes Pothos plants?

Food for thought on this Monday morning. Fear and anxiety are so common today. How would that change if I truly anchored my security in Him? Something to pray about and practice.

Today I get to be home cleaning bathrooms and doing laundry. We are expecting some needed rain! Take care, friends. 💛

Moms and grandparents...this was a FUN October activity when I was teaching preschool! Keep your toddlers and littles busy for a long time letting them use toy hammers to tap golf tees into a pumpkin. Great sensory learning activity!
