Inquisitive puppy

Every evening my Labrador Retriever, Midnight – who is now approximately 19 months old, comes up to me where I’m sitting on the couch working on my laptop or watching TV (or both) and she just stares at me with big clear inquisitive eyes. She started doing this a few weeks ago, and she’d stare at me for hours if it didn’t bug me so much.

I haven’t figured out just what she wants or what she’s doing when she’s staring at me like this. Is it attention she wants? Another rawhide to chew on? I don’t know. If I move towards her to pet her she’ll back away. It’s so weird. Chris, my husband, thinks it’s just because she loves me so much. Maybe that’s all it is, but it’s strange being stared at so intently by my pup.

White Orchid

It’s snowy and cold outside right now, but indoors I have a garden of sorts in my kitchen.

The orchids, amaryllis and hibiscus have all been taking turns blooming away and it’s been lovely. It’s so nice to have flowers indoors in the winter – especially when they aren’t cut flowers in a vase!

Purple Orchid in bloom

This is a photo of my purple Orchid. All three of my Orchids are now in bloom, but this one is the prettiest with it’s purple lines on white petals. I think it looks a bit like a very ornate butterfly – don’t you?

Compte de Chambord Rose Bud

This is a rose bud from one of my antique roses – Compte de Chambord. This rose’s flowers put out a strong rose perfume scent. I love being in my garden in the early morning, early evening or just after I’ve watered when these roses are in bloom as the scent is heavenly.

Of course this rose is not blooming now. It’s warmed up here in Toronto, but it’s only a mid-winter thaw … but soon … soon, my flowers will start to grow again.
