I have been on the lookout for a pure white orchid for a while now, and haven't seen any around here. I'd love to add an Apricot rose to my roses. Do you know what the name of your Apricot rose is? <br /><br />My home needs a good cleaning right now. It's been a busy couple of weeks, doing other activities. It needs a big dose of serenity and a complete cleaning right now. I don't know how two people (my husband and I) could get everything so out of place in the house (mostly I am the dis-organizer). Tonight it looks like a bunch of monkeys has been set loose in here. Tomorrow is the big Clean Up day. This kind of jumble really doesn't encourage serenity.<br /><br />Your post today was very inspiring, just when I needed it most.

I do find since I have retired I never spend a whole day cleaning preferring to break the jobs up. I've always loved ironing but again since we are retired there is less to do. Making headway with sorting my wardrobe out and your post reminded me to pamper my hands.

My orchids sit on window sills, several above the sink facing north and one in the south window and they all have re bloomed. I only buy the "window sill" orchids...they bloom twice a year for me. After 4 or 5 years they need repotting so I put them on the boulevard with a free sign on them and someone always scoops them up!hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-43309471058333022412016-07-06T16:21:23.562-07:002016-07-06T16:21:23.562-07:00I think I subscribe to that theory that if you don...I think I subscribe to that theory that if you don't wear them you should not have them...but having said that I would probably not wear a diamond tiara to clean house or a heavy ornate gemstone necklace...but then I don't own anything quite that luxe...so maybe I would!hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-40426942165469265002016-07-06T16:18:50.907-07:002016-07-06T16:18:50.907-07:00Today with my home tidy and clean I was able to go...Today with my home tidy and clean I was able to go out and run errands and have some playtime!
