 Spring is starting to peek it's head out of the wintery 

clouds and snowdrifts. 

The green popping out of the ground in the spring

is such a glorious change from the dreary

snowy landscape I get accustomed to seeing

by this time each year.    

 Our first blooms of the year :)

lovely littles.

That's not the only thing blooming.

I get the pleasure of gazing at these 

beauties each day now that sit on my kitchen shelf:  

 I'm not sure what this is.....a Christmas cactus maybe?

Whatever it is, it's blooming again and it's a 

beautiful bright orange.

BUT.....the real gem is this lady:  

 MY ORCHID.....

the first orchid in 10+ years that I have EVER

got to re-bloom. I was THRILLED to see 

the new chute and blooms grow. 

Orchids are my FAVORITE flower and this particular

plant is one that my husband gave me about a year

and four months ago......I think now I've figured 

out how to make them re-bloom....

patience is the main thing :) 

Welcome Spring!
