Looking Back...and Forward

During these cold winter days we start looking back on some lovely flowers we have seen, and ahead to the time when we can again enjoy greenery and blooms around us.
I looked back to the photos of last year's Orchid Show here in Winnipeg and remember how lovely the conservatory at Assiniboine Park was, as society members and others transformed it into a tropical scene.
We usually stop by Everspring Orchids and purchase a plant or two. Orchids stay in bloom for a very long time.

Oh, Millie, those flowers are gorgeous, and makes one dream of warm spring days!
Zach's daddy is a Philadelphia Flyers fan actually but because he lives in Vancouver, he also cheers for the Canucks. Thanks for your visit and your lovely comments. Enjoy your day.

Blessings,
Sandi

Party Day…Our Deck

Image
Rhondi is hosting a porch party, and I am very excited about seeing decks, porches, etc. from many places, encompassing climates and decor of all sorts. We don’t have a porch, so we are welcoming you to our deck today. Please keep our Manitoba climate in mind, as you will notice our summer is just beginning, and plants are not very advanced yet. The afternoon sun is highlighting part of the table, and the rest is shaded by the umbrella. I have set the table in green and white, and because it will just be two of us , it is casual. Before the sun goes down, let’s see what else is on the deck….    another table with some lanterns and plants.. ..a bakers rack which I sprayed light green and which holds green plants.. ..a bench with more of the tropical print…   …and a grouping of potted plants Looking out at the yard, the sun is streaming in from the West. the days are longer now and it is still light….at 8:45… …and now finally night has fallen…it is now 10...
