Lady Slipper

Our Lady Slipper bloomed! Third time since we've moved here. I've been watching for it in the green belt that separates our driveway from our neighbors. Spotted it yesterday as I was leaving for work! For those who may not know, it's a wild orchid. And a beautiful one at that. Gorgeous morning. 59 degrees right now. Sunny, with a bright blue sky, calm winds and 87% humidity. Quite a delicious weather recipe. Still, working on the blog shyness. I'll get past it. Let's see what's in the archives :)

From Oct. 22 2015



He's in the pic. I'm just a lousy photographer. The Front Porch had a visitor this morning. Well, two actually. But I only caught a glimpse of the second one. An unusually bold crow sat in the front tree and made all kinds of noises for me while I stood underneath. He let me take all kinds of pictures too. Unfortunately, it was too dark to take a decent one. He and a mostly unseen Bluejay were having a disagreement about something. The Bluejay finally buzzed the crow and they took their argument elsewhere. It's 53° warm this morning. Humidity is hovering at 86%, the winds are calm and it is overcast. Didn't check to see if we were to expect rain.
One of these days I'm gonna send a text unedited. I'm using the swipe method trying to get used to it. And there is a good example! I just swiped the word “trying” 13 times before giving up and typing it. I gotta see what my texts will say if I let the phone choose for me!  A good day to you me loved ones. May the wind be always at yer back!

I forgot about the Unedited Swipe!! I haven't done any since I gave up on the swipe method. To illustrate just how bad I am at swiping on the phone, here is my first Unedited Swipe from Oct.22, 2015:
Didn't wanna wait till tomorrow. Here goes with the unedited swipe!
There are two squirrels interested back yards fight ING for food rights. I loved took watch them race around s the trees. Bookmaker little biggies! I wish I confidence visors them weekend they are reaching around and around the tree. I never seem to have my camera with me when I see them do to. That's a ballet workforce video respond!

I wish I could video tape them when they are racing around and around the trees. I never seem to have my camera with me when I see them do it. That's a ballet worth video taping!
Boy, do I need to practice!
