TGIF! Still cold near Valley Forge, but bright sunshine and seeing the first Robbins is a great feeling.

Here is my second orchid bloom of 2025. It did not sell last year so the store cut the old flower spikes off and priced it at $5. I think I got a beauty!

Here is my most exciting bird encounter! I heard this fledgling hawk calling in my backyard on Labor Day 2021. I knew he was hungry and I fed him from a stick 3 times before he flew away.
