It is REALLY cold this morning


Three of us opted for living room warmth


while one of us loves his own special box even if it IS really cold.

The orchids I saved from the trash

several years ago are really putting on a show this year.  Even with all the snow and the awesome cold and the wind blowing through the windows, this one has bloomed on two stalks for the past 5 MONTHS!!!!!
This photo was from September 4 of 2014  you can see the green trees still behind the orchid...

and these are from yesterday, snow and all....




it looks like it is good for a while yet!

This one hasn't been blooming quite as long,,,, only about 3 months, but still going.

My orchids shed some leaves

and I got to playing with them. so I stamped and wrote on one of each kind to see how age affects this..
Here's how they looked the day I did it.  I'll follow this up when/if they change in an interesting way.

there is SO little light lately!!!

This was, I swear, the next to last day there was light out there....
I love the way those jade plants I rescued from the building trash room have grown,  Jade is such a gorgeous thing...
