A Few Pictures

I recently read that pictures should tell a story. Well, these don't tell the story on their own, so I'll fill you in.

A severe winter destroyed my tea cup bird feeder.  Next year they should be put away in the storage building!

A new raised bed put together by my husband for my birthday.  I think 4 tomato plants will grow well here.


Sad little lettuce plants.  They survived last week's ice storm.  With a little spring sunshine, they should rebound.  We'll see!


An orchid that was a gift to Mama when she was in the hospital about 2 years ago.  I repotted it in orchid potting soil and patiently waited.  I was rewarded with these beautiful blooms this week.




We have had glorious weather for four days, but it will be rainy, windy and stormy today.  High tomorrow:  low 40s.  Spring is on the way.
