I was in the high school library for a meeting. The beautiful day was perfectly framed through the library windows, beckoning me to come outside and play.

I've been waiting since January 7th when I first saw that my orchid was sending out a shoot to bloom. An now, on March 18, my parent's 60th anniversary, it is finally blooming!
