Re: Orchid Event now Spring is here!

Theresa, lucky you! I'm jealous. Although I still can't do stuff like that with the back so it's good it's still cold here or I'd be out there.

I miss those warm days like that. I'm sure SC has been having those too. I'm glad you had a great day!

Hi Andrea- Sorry it is still winter there. It was GORGEOUS here today! Supposedly only got up to 62 today- but I know that is wrong. I was out in the garden in just a shirt and plenty warm. It was so nice to be out in see all the stuff coming up and the trees starting to put out new leaves. This was one of the best days I've had in a long time. Weeded some, chopped back my grasses, moved a few bulbs that we buried by other plants, cut one of my bananas off of the main plant to give away. Have a couple of things I want to move around- so hoping tomorrow is just as nice.

It is, thanks for asking. Sorry I haven't been very chatty lately. Been in a winter funk. These events this month are certainly making me feel better!

My back still gets irritated, but I'm doing the water aerobics 5 days a week and that is making all the difference. I'm now starting to do weight bearing exercises again, which should make it even better.

I'm excited about the orchid show next weekend. THAT is going to be a blast!
