Call the Midwife is back!

Yes!  Jenny, Chummy, Trixie ,Cynthia

& the Sisters are back!

I love this show and especially Chummy.

There was plenty of Chummy in the story last night.

It was followed by Mr. Selfridge which I also enjoy.

When we visited London last spring, we walked into Selfridges.

Of course it's very modern now, but when I turned 

around, there was the old entrance facade preserved.

Any Midwife or Selfridge fans out there?

I'm finally back to blogging and painting after

a too long hiatus.

We're back from a warm sunny trip.

Laundry is caught up, housekeeping is caught up,

appointments have been made and kept.

Snow is on the way tonight.

My daughter and I did our annual Philadelphia Flower Show/

Longwood Gardens Orchid Show day today.

Such a joy to look at all those gorgeous flowers!

The image above is of Longwood's hanging orchids.

Just stunning!

And to brighten your winter day,

a view of the conservatory...

all dressed up for Spring.
