I'm still here, honest!

Sorry I've been a bit quiet - just busy, that's all. [livejournal.com profile] nodbear and I will be doing our lent postings as usual (lent is approaching at a rate of knots, I see!) and I'll try harder at posting other stuff too.

I offer you an orchid as a sign of contrition.

ME also so can't judge ! glad you are back though and glad to be back myself

lovely orchid :) we have two here as well which I try to care for and sometimes just sit and admire

meanwhile got to post some poetry which hopefully both yesterday's birthday girl [livejournal.com profile] eglantine_br and [livejournal.com profile] amaraal tomorrow's birthday girl will like
and finish my editorial corrections ( fortunately very few!) and try to make lemon tart between now and lunchtime - yikes

What a busy girl!

The orchid is my triumph - Cathy left it here when she moved out back end of 2014 and it looked dead. No idea how I coaxed such a show out of it - there are 6 flowers now, all just as lovely.

Beautiful orchid! *is speechless* Although pink isn't really my colour *g*

Yes, do it! Would be great to read more what's going on in your life :)

It's snowing here!!!

I don't like pink, either, but was so tickled pink at the resurrected plant it could have been sky blue pink with yellow dots and I'd have been happy.

Am envious of your snow.

LOL Good work though! The plant does indeed look happy :)

Snow is already melting again :( But we have a bit sun too :) :) :)

It is thriving on healthy neglect and a once a week watering. I do talk to it, though.

They do love being talked to... But some plants are mimoses. If you give them names they die!

Gorgeous! I love orchids. They're so ridiculously extravagant :)

I know. And so long lasting!
