Mouse Update

No one has showed up for dinner for nearly two weeks. I did catch a whiff of corruption once or twice, but haven't found any bodies. I suspect, rather strongly, that I no longer have mice.

Damn. I was really enjoying them.

Sneaky

My "other" orchid, a Colmanara "Wildcat", has not been adapting well to the new environment. I had about given up on it when it surprised me: it has three blossoms on a stem about four inches long, all but hidden under the leaves.

Does this count as a silver lining?

(Mine, at least in this blooming, is not as dark as the illustration -- that needs lots of sun to bring out the colors, and it's sitting on a crowded table at an east window.)
