The English language is missing a lot of very important useful words. We suggest that these words be added to the English dictionary, to help us more precisely and forcibly, express ourselves.
Charles Williams is one of my favorite authors. I found him by "accident" many years ago in my favorite bookstore in St. Petersburg, FL. His writing is like no other Christian literature I have read.
At our home, we have thousands of orchids. Some are unbelievable large and some are so very tiny, they need to be viewed with a magnifying glass! Here are some wee Baby Orchids my husband grows...
As mushrooms go, the Chicken of the Woods is in a class by itself. Who would think a mushroom would taste like cooked chicken? This one does! One of our family members has even seen it in the wild.
I love the stagecoaches of the Wild West, don't you? They were so beautifully made, and for a period of time, were the "way to go". Romantic to us, they were anything BUT that, to those who rode them.

Everywhere I look in my home, inside and out, there are orchids! My husband has a VERY green thumb. I hope you enjoy the photos, and don't mind my rhyming below - I got stuck in a "groove"!

Some of my husband's orchids look like Circus Clowns, or at least they do to ME! Take a look and see what YOU think. Don't they look like "Clown Orchids" to you?
My husband grows lots and lots of orchids. Some of them look JUST like angels, to me. What do YOU think?

Moringa Stenopetala is the "African Moringa" tree. It is also called "Mother's Helper", because it helps increase the milk supply for nursing mothers. The leaves are nutritious, and delicious, too!
