little things

got an order of citrus yesterday from the annual fundraiser for some kids at my church.  delicious grapefruit for lunch and orange segments for my salad at lunch.  such a nice fresh taste in the middle of snowy winter.

then, i found this intrepid interloper in my indoor potted plants that spend their summers outdoors.  it was a sprouted acorn.  look how far it grew!  look how big the leaves are for a sprout!  it looked so spring-like, but i had to pluck it.  the pot’s not big enough for a tree.
