Purple and lime orchids, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

Here’s some exotic orchids from always reliable Longwood Gardens. (Make note to go in the next week or so).

Please keep my husband Brian’s dad Fran in your thoughts and prayers. He has something going on and is in the hospital now. He’s had GI issues for months and months and refused to go to the doctor. His RBC was low as was his BP. He had a CAT scan on his stomach and his colon has pockets, but not sure if that being irritated is his main problem.
I’ll probably go see him tomorrow. He was always quite heavy in the 240+ range . Now he’s like 160. He just had a birthday on the 23rd-turned 87!
