Bears and Buds

I'm getting ready to donate some hand-knit teddy bears to Mother Bear Project. They are so irresistible it's kind of hard to give them away, but I know the kids will love them.

My orchid is finally blooming. Yay! The first bloom opened on Easter morning, which I thought was rather fitting.

The photo below is from today. And, yes, that IS snow in the background. In mid April.

I am so pleased that it bloomed. I am usually better at killing plants than growing them.
