Winter weekend

In the dead of winter...


...my orchids have started blooming! So nice to see beautiful flowers in January.


And Julius is keeping himself entertained...


"Oh hello. I'm a little busy!"



"I'm willing that Cardinal to come in the house I can make myself a nice bird sandwich!" 




"Mmmm.. bird sandwich....mmmmmmmm!"




Meanwhile, Naomi was hanging out in her favourite place.

Gordon got me that John Deere tractor shirt at TSC last week!

Hope you all had a happy weekend.

  1. You nearly have me convinced to adopt a cat. But, not quite. I'll stick with dogs for now.

  2. Do you remember the orchid that was about to bloom but was taking forever for the flower to open? I was about to give up on it and then Audrey walked in the dining-room as I was taking a photo of it and whacked the bloom right off the stem and sent it flying across the table. I just shrug my shoulders and chock it up to another day with Audrey. I guess I am an out-door plant grower only. I presume Emily leaves yours alone.

  6. I'm a total orchid killer, deader! It's nice to know there are people out there who can make them live and bloom!
    Julius is super cute ♥

  7. I'm way too stingy with utilities to ever think an orchid will bloom in my house in January! I'll live vicariously through yours.
