Ever been to western Massachusetts in February? It is cold, windy, and usually there is LOTS of snow. I spent four years trudging to class and letting my cheeks thaw for 90 minutes just to head back out into the cold.
My place of solace during the cold months and treks to and from class was the Durfee Conservatory. This greenhouse was a warm, plant filled oasis in a world of gray, bleak, cold. There was always light classical music playing, complimented by the light trickle of the indoor waterfall.
It's this time of year that I long for the little bamboo bench where I studied for my Art History exam though I'd gladly curl up on a couch with some tea in one of the rooms below.

I love how the plants are wild, unruly, and seem to be taking over the room as if to say "You may think we belong outside, but we know better."
I just seem to be able to live and breath better with a plant nearby, don't you?
I seem to suck the ever-blessed life out of any indoor plant in my proximity... It's always just a matter of time. ;)

I went to college in Michigan, and remember well crunching through the snow with my nose hairs frozen together. Oh the memories!
