On the way, we called in at The Herbal Shop & Clinic, and the lovely ladies there helped me find what was needed.
I was going to purchase a small salt lamp at the same time, but was warned that cats often lick them and have then been known to suffer kidney damage.
Knowing Mittens loves leaping up on furniture and would be sure to be a licker, I wasn't prepared to run the risk and never bought one.
The wintery sun broke through after lunch, so I moved the maidenhair fern and the African violet to a sunny spot to enjoy its warmth.
Stay happy and keep smiling.

So foggy. I'm glad to hear the sun broke through later.
ReplyDeleteNice photo of Mittens
Oh it was foggy wasn't it, rather you than me. We've had a cool grey day as well. I have a salt lamp but no cats to worry about. Enjoy the rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteThat was a very dreary start to the day with the fog - glad it lifted enough for you to get some sunshine.
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting fact about the salt lamp - thanks for passing it on Margaret.
Blessings

I think it a good choice not to risk kitty's health...you would miss her so much.
ReplyDeleteWe don’t have much fog on PEI. In Newfoundland however, it was thick like pea soup. Being nearthe Grand Banks made for many foggy days!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret from a first-time visitor to your blog who came here from Marie Smith's blog. My name is Dorothy (aka Beatrice on my blog) and my husband and I had the pleasure of meeting the Smiths on a May trip to Prince Edward Island and it was a wonderful meet-up. I am looking forward to reading more of your blog posts and hopefully making a new blog friend in the process. Mittens is a lovely kitty and best not to rish anything that could harm her even if a salt lamp purchase was inviting.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Dorothy aka Beatrice! I hope you get to find much enjoyment here :)
DeleteWe've had the same weather but we're in the middle of summer! I was fascinated by the salt lamps.
ReplyDeleteProbably smart of you not to buy that lamp. That fog looks thick!
ReplyDeleteI can't see your African Violet clearly but from what I can see I notice that it's in much better shape than my 3 which I've put on notice. Smarten up or end up at the thrift store. (Yes, our thrift store takes plants. They sell the first day they're put out).
ReplyDeleteA friend gave me a salt lamp in Greece (one you put a candle in) and fortunately Mr T didn't lick it because it came with no earning and it never crossed my mind. It was however hygroscopic and made puddles of salt water in very humid weather so it was very fortunate it was sitting on the tile floor and not wooden table when I discovered that.
ReplyDeleteI have heard mixed reviews on the salt lamps...sea air might be a better choice:)
