One of the hawks that hangs out in our back field. We were checking each other out, for sure.

Oof. My taste buds envy you. Other parts of me don't.

Broke away from tax purgatory to turn some soil.

Getting divorced was one of the best things I ever did! No regrets there, at all.
I was sad, but happy that my parents did it, too. Having close adult relationships with both of them, I have no idea how they ever even feel in love.

Yeah, I'm disappointed in Collins. I thought she was better than that.

We spent the weekend XC skiing. I sure do miss real winter!

Yep. So many people I know have said that you can't belive everything he says. Doubt they'll change their minds...

Paphiopedilum spicerianum

More lady slippers, because it's, most definitely, their time to show off.

*EDIT* Phragmipedium

I've had a velcro dog, too. Fuzzy snuggles for everyone!

Here. Have something pretty from the greenhouse to look at amidst all this ick.

Phragmipedalum gigantium

So true! I had both wrists operated on in June and couldn't even pull up my own pants for almost 2 weeks. It's so humbling, and hard, to be incapable of doing normal things.

Yay! I'm so glad to see this update! Enjoy lifting and snuggling all the things!
