Ganoksin: Orchid Forums
I've really been enjoying all the wealth of knowledge that is available through Orchid forums.  It's an email based forum which is not exactly what I am used to, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  I look forward to going through the 50 or so emails I get each day because I am learning new...

Gardening with an audience
My cat, MuShu, likes to try and figure out what I'm doing outside when I'm working in the garden.  I think he doesn't quite understand why I can be somewhere he can't get to.  He usually hops up in the windowsill and "talks" to me through the screen (It's the cutest thing).

Putting a hold on Friday Finds
I like to ask permission from the artists I feature on my Friday Finds so that they have the chance to look at my blog before I write anything about them or use any of their photos. Lately I've found that I either don't have the time to do much surfing for new finds, or the artist doesn't... Read more...
