What am I nattering on about?

July 17, 2013

We are having a heat wave – in the 90s.  And our old house does not have air conditioning.  Most days the fans keep things comfortable, but last night the heat and humidity built up to a level that makes me cranky.

So we fled in the air conditioned car to the air conditioned mall with the air conditioned book store and this is how I spent the time . . .

I caught up on a bunch of interesting magazines:

Saw some rather surreal 90 foot orchids – okay, maybe they were 20 foot tall orchids . . .

Saw a fellow studiously photographing a shop window – and then I saw what he was looking at . . .

And walked out of the mall into a beautiful sunset . . .

We now have a window unit in the bedroom – did I mention it was going to be in the 90s all week?

What am I smelling?

February 21, 2012

Not the roses, because there were no roses.  There were lots of orchids, ponderosa lemons, limes, cacti (not my favorites), and ferns (my favorites.) The best show was in the orchid room at the Rockefeller Greenhouse, a lovely green-smelling place in Cleveland in February.
