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

Decorating for Thanksgiving 2020

 Our Canadian Thanksgiving is in one week. Due to COVID, we won't be having a Thanksgiving family dinner this year, but I did some decorating anyway. This Thanksgiving will be different in another way also, as one of our Grandsons is getting married during the same weekend. Due to our Provincial rules, they are only allowed 10 guests The wedding will be held in his parents' back yard so another 10 of us will be seated in the yard next door to see the ceremony.+ It has been almost 2 years since I  last posted. Sometimes life events get in the way!
