Happy Orchids

We moved the orchids off the sunny patio to the back deck where they now sit beneath the shade of a live oak tree. Judging by the healthy growth they experienced this summer, as well as the parade of blooms they rewarded us with, I would say they are indeed very happy in their newfound spot. This is the best they have looked since we bought them!

Mocha - My Garden Companion

Well, well, I'm out here working and sweating while Miss Mocha takes a break in the shade. I can't say that I blame her as it is a very warm day. She is, however, a great garden companion as she follows me wherever I go, taking an occassional break to pounce on a lizard or leaf moving in the breeze.
