All About African Violets – Episode 3.053 – Changing it Up




All About African Violets show

Summary: <br> Welcome to my Sunroom<br> <br> <br> <br> Come on in to the Sunroom!<br> <br> <br> <br> While Illinois has progressed to Phase 4 of its reopening plan, we have seen a recent uptick in cases of COVID-19.  Many other states are now facing what Illinois was facing back in March and April when we were under a stay-at-home order, so please stay home/stay safe, wear a mask when you go out, and keep washing your hands!!<br> <br> <br> <br> I just realized that I completely missed a podcast episode on the 21st of June, and not only I missed it: NO ONE missed it! This helped me make a decision that I’ve been contemplating for awhile. I have decided to let the podcast Facebook page go dark.  Back in the wayback there was a lot of conversation on our Facebook page, but by the time I rebooted the podcast a couple of years ago, groups were happening, and many new African violet groups had sprung up on FB. That’s where the conversations are happening these days (as they should! :-) ). <br> <br> <br> <br> There are multiple options for viewing All About African Violets:  You can subscribe to the podcast directly on the website and also on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-about-african-violets/id541476554">iTunes/ApplePodcasts</a>.
