had a lovely wander around the living room and dining room to check on the plants…
a few of the orchids are starting some new buds and the other plants are doing nicely…
it was a nice treat to wander around and see the growth…
we just sprang forward on the weekend and I think Spring is really coming…

Monday I wandered around the living and dining rooms taking photos of the plants in the sunlight…
it was shining so beautifully on the jungle of plants that are filling the space… the furniture and even the purple snowflakes in the window were just beautiful;-)…
I’ve being paying close attention when it is shining to be sure to enjoy the light…
what a glorious time… sunshine is so energizing…

last night we brought home the last of the plants, which included two good sized orchids…
it has been bitterly cold the last few days, but it appears that they made the trip okay… my colleague warmed up the car and the plants were wrapped with plastic… both of these directives were provided by our office plant whisperer;-)…
tonight the final collection of items consisted of two boxes and my artwork…
we were especially careful with my canvas because I plan to replace the one that is currently on the purple living room wall…
tomorrow I won’t have anything to bring home, other than me...

counting down these last few working days…
today I wrote procedures, did a bit of training, tidied files, and boxed up a number of my plants…
clearly I should have moved the plants last week when it was around zero… today is was -27…
it looks like they made it okay… I’ve emptied the box and tomorrow I will bring home the remaining plants;-)…
and then we will see…

beauty is surrounding me… blessed…
first thing in the morning the orchids and hibiscus greet me… it is exciting to see which ones are getting ready to open… wondering how many might open at once…
at the office more orchids are blooming…
more are getting buds;-)…

recently a few people have commented on the plants in the office…
my space is filled with orchids, violets and other greenery…
I always give credit to our plant whisperer who keeps the green things extra green…
I also mention how much I enjoy my orchids… sometimes they bloom a second and third time… it is so exciting when that happens…
lovely to spend my day in a garden;-)..

this little flower made me think of all those I know who are hanging on by a thread for a variety of reasons… even though it has been cold and snowy it is still blooming…
I was also thinking of a friend’s comment that they couldn’t pull out the plants that were still flowering in their garden, lol…
beauty is all around us, if we just take a moment to look…

I am over-the-moon with excitement…
some time ago I realized that I hadn’t planted any morning glories and was very sad because I really love the flowers… the inner light is mesmerizing…
recently I realized that some seeds from last summer had sprouted in a large container of soil that was sitting under the deck… they hadn’t had any water or sunlight but were growing…
I moved the pot out into the sun and made sure to put water in it… and watched it every day…
a week ago I saw what looked to be buds and I’ve examined them each day to see what would happen… since then we’ve had quite a bit of rain, overcast skies, and cooler temperatures, so I’ve been worried they wouldn’t bloom…
but… this is what happened…
I spent extra time in the garden today sitting and enjoying the purple flowers…
I am in my happy place… flowers really do make me happy;-)…

for the last few weeks my desk has been a bit messed up as I had loaned out a small rolling filing cabinet…
this meant that all my plants, mainly orchids, ended up on the desktop, making it a bit crowded…
today, I got the cabinet back and our amazing plant whisperer reorganized the space… she remembered exactly how it should look, which was good because I couldn’t remembered what went where…
looks amazing now… and the space has a much calmer feeling;-)… ahhh…

took a few moments this morning to stop and take a few photos of all the buds on the mandevilla…
there are dozens of them…
wondering how many will open up at once and looking forward to seeing what happens…
nature is so amazing…
