I think of it as creativity and therapy all wrapped up into one. So no, since your "hobby" already provides you with therapy, there is no need for more. How about that for rationalizing your purchases?Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-3557801384993374682012-04-13T08:02:20.550-07:002012-04-13T08:02:20.550-07:00That's only five plants per sale.
