Yes, you guessed correctly. Monday afternoon my friend and I walked again at the Bolz Conservatory at Olbrich Gardens. The warm temperatures, the flowers, the birdies, and particularly the sun coming through the glass enclosure made us happy.
I think we’re going to make it through January! What gets you through January?

What a lovely way to spend the day. I don’t mind January too much – the days are getting longer. Somehow, February is more taxing for me. A few family birthdays in both months help things along.

Oh, wow. Those orchids are stunning–and I’m usually not really an orchid nut. Perfect visit for a winter day. I love the botanical gardens in D.C. You’ve inspired me to go into the city and make a visit this winter!

Flowers certainly help get one through January! Similarly, there are a few lovely roses on the walk my partner and I take in the neighborhood…otherwise, future travel plans and, very recently, audiobooks, are getting me through the rest of this January– it’s almost done!
