Free Terrarium

Trev and I made a terrarium today. For free!

Ok, ok, so the moss did sit on my counter over night. But it was creatively stored on a Smart Pop bag, covered by a plastic mini-cake dome. Thinking about it now I wish I would have taken pictures… Next time!

Trev removed some dead flowers from their soil while I got a large vase that tapers towards the top. I put half an inch of water in the vase so it could mix with the dry soil. Dirt got everywhere, of course, but I was on the patio so it didn’t really matter. I mixed the soil with my hand and lightly tapped it down spreading it evenly.

Trying to keep the cats out of the way was an entirely different ordeal. They want nothing to do with you until it looks like you’re having fun.

I added the moss, some rocks from California (I pick up a couple of rocks while on vacation – they’re free souvenirs!), and spritzed it with water. The terrarium is sitting on the coffee table now, but the cats are so dammed interested in it that we’ll have to put it out of harms way.

I have to figure out this picture thing. I can see the spray bottle, coffee, and I’m pretty sure I can see myself taking the picture… Next time!
