How was your Valentine’s Day?

We were one of the wise people who stayed home and did nothing because we knew there will be so much traffic and people out in the streets romanticizing the idea of the need to celebrate Valentine’s.

The question is – do I have a green thumb to make flowers in their boxes grow?
