Spring Fever

It's no surprise I'm not a cold weather person. Every year I try new ways to combating the winter doldrums: tanning, working out, Vitamin D, boxing, going for walks, buying flowers for the apartment, etc. The other day Jacob bought me a hyacinth because he's just a nice guy like that. I was all kinds of excited for this pretty new plant. For one thing I love filling my living/working space with plants, but also bringing a little bit of spring inside makes it seem less cold out. The plant started off great.

But then it started to grow wonky. No wonder Jacob thinks I have a brown thumb!
