finally friday



It's been a soupy, rainy week but the clouds cleared late in the day
and the weekend forecast looks nice.

This is a corner of my kitchen window, it's my orchid window.
Current count is ten...yes, I have a little problem...*smile*

The magenta  phalaenopsis is dropping its flowers and the 
yellow paphiopedilum is on its sixth and probably final bloom.

Most of my orchids begin blooming in late winter/early spring,
 those are just now dropping flowers and entering their period of rest.

There is a little phalaenopsis that is about to bloom, its flower doesn't 
last very long but, unlike most of its kind, it has a strong, sweet scent.

I'm still loving the handkerchief curtain.
Maybe a quick shrimp salad for dinner.
Have a great weekend!

A Walk After Work

Today was bright but very brisk.
After work I decided to go for a walk at Pool Wildlife Sanctuary.
It may look like winter but flowers and beasts were easily found.
A lovely way to close the day.

Tuesday - Treasure






Monday night I came home and found the most delicate 
and beautiful envelope in my mailbox.

I couldn't open it right away...and carried it with me to work Tuesday, 
propping it up on my computer or placing it in the middle of my desk throughout the day.

It wasn't until this evening that I was ready to very carefully cut it open.
The contents left me breathless...

My heart is singing!
Thank you, dearest Coco.
