Winter and our House Plants in Delft White Pots

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all American readers!

Before I've mentioned how hard it was to keep all our house plants alive, while being away for 3 weeks at a time, doing consulting work.
With the water computer inside our greenhouse, things worked out perfect, together with a heater for the colder period.
Here is our excellent collection from that time...
When viewed on YouTube you can find English text below, with clickable points.
Remember, we always talked Dutch, as those videos got mailed out to my Parents...
A nice view of our Kitchen Bay Window and our Veranda—full with plants.
This was around Christmas in1985, our previous home where we had solid oak indoor shutters that were not painted white.
Me crocheting on some curtain with my feet up onto the leather foot stool.
You can see the same solid oak indoor shutters here now open.

    Hello Mariette, These are some pictures of domestic comfort, the reward for all of your and Pieter's hard work, both professionally and in creating a home. The key to an interesting interior is to have unique items like your custom woodwork or those handsome white Delft flower pots that no one else will have.

      Dearest Jim,
      You are so right about that, we always tried to give our home a 'soul' as it should reflect its owners.
      Both of us don't live according to prescribed behavior!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Dearest Anne,
      Yes, from an era when our 'green children' were still alive!

    Algunas plantas, le va muy mal el frío y son difíciles de mantener. todos los años pierdo la albahaca y la hierbabuena, que tengo en mi patio.

    Besos

      Querida Antónia,
      ¡Siempre es muy complicado mantener vivas nuestras plantas! Ya sea cuidándolos por dentro o teniendo a alguien en quien puedas confiar, o dentro de un invernadero.
      Abrazos,
      Mariette
