This picture is for Anne. I know where her cardinal sits. I've been there, and whenever I look at this cardinal, I am reminded of 2 1/2 phenomenal months living amongst wonderful friends in Blanot, France.
It was bitter cold out today. Before I went out for the morning walk with Jake I announced that we weren't taking a long one. He may not have understood my words, but he understood the thermometer. We headed out the driveway and started down the hill. About halfway down he stopped to poop, and then instantly turned around, running back towards the house with me scrambling to keep up.
A hot cup of coffee was a delight after that excursion. Meanwhile, all the buds of the orchid plant have bloomed with the warmth of the wood stove keeping the frigid outside air at bay.
