I bought another orchid last weekend, couldn't resist the pink flowers and it was cheap. We've all been sick this past week with nasty bug, lots of congestion, coughing, and generally feeling like shit. My husband was the last to catch it and came home from work sick yesterday. Jack is of course all better now and full of energy. We handed out his birthday invitations at daycare this morning and I'm sure he'll be overstimulated for the next month, thinking about and planning his birthday party. Fun.
It's snowing today and we're supposed to get 10-20 cm. It's not terribly cold out, so I can still walk the dogs and enjoy the snow falling. As I sit here typing, I just saw a huge flock of Bohemian Waxwings swirling about. The Canadian geese have made an appearance which means spring is truly on its way.
I ended up getting lost in old photos on my computer. I chose the best of Jack and will have them printed off, for his photo album. Yes, I still have an old school photo album because I like turning the pages, and it will be something for him when he's grown, and my computer files have all disappeared.
I found this old photo of me and my first dog. I would have been ten or eleven at most.
I was going to write more about the manosphere, something I just learned about today, but I'm tired of sitting at my computer now. Have a good day everyone.
That is a very sweet picture of you and your dog. Look at your long legs! And your orchid is beautiful. If you have the technique down as to how to care for them and room for them, I think you should buy yourself one whenever you want it. You deserve that beautiful little reminder of all you do for others.
ReplyDeleteOrchids are gorgeous - I don't buy them as I don't believe in plant cruelty!! I just don't have the potted plant knack at all, and orchids frighten the beegeebies out of me.
ReplyDeleteHey, I recognize those rubber flip-flops (or thongs as they were called then, but NOT NOW, LOL!). Didn't every Canadian kid wear those in the summer? I know I did!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Manosphere -- BARF! Nothing but incels, rapists, and women-hating Nazis.
Manosphere. How sad is that.
ReplyDeleteI had to look up manosphere. Little dicked insecure incels.
ReplyDeleteI too looked up manosphere, Wikipedia tells us: "The manosphere is a varied collection of websites, blogs, and online forums promoting masculinity, misogyny, and opposition to feminism." Well, that's certainly pathetic.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you bought that orchid! 😊❤️
ReplyDeleteSnow is OK as long as it's pretty and not too cold to go out in. (and temporary!) There is still so much *stuff* going around. Ugh! I'm glad that you're improving. Hope your husband is too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! Your dog looks a little uncomfortable, though. LOL!
ReplyDeleteNice orchid. They do brighten up wintry days.
That is such a cute photo of you and your first dog. I have no photos of me when I was a kid, they must be at my mother's house. That photo of the orchid is a great one. It captures all of the different colors. I looked up manosphere myself. The Felon and Mr. Musk Melon sound like they are adherents to the manosphere bro culture.
