Snow and orchids...

Outside,

14 inches of snow,

some ice,

and hungry cold birds.

We watched a dozen bluebirds enter a small nesting box to keep warm.

A lot of birds in a very small space.

This car is still snowed in.

So while it snows outside,

inside the wood stove keeps us warm,

and this orchid continues to amaze us.

12 blooms that came out 6 weeks ago

 continue to last.

This is the first time that the orchids have bloomed

since repotting two years ago.

A little summertime in a pot.

Keep warm.
