This is one happy orchid. It keeps growing. See those buds tucked behind the flowers? That's from the second stalk. There is also a small bud trying to grow in the first talk. Then there this.

Spring is so consistent. I wish I was more like her. Kylie loves life and nature. She was so happy to take a photo with this daffodil peaking through the mulch.
My favorite moment inside the butterfly canopy was when I saw these two turtles looking toward the pond. I saw myself in them, except I'm looking toward the beach, with my husband, as we watch the sunset in blazing colors. I think she was overwhelmed with all the butterflies. Her favorite moment was when she... Continue Reading →
She loves butterflies, so on her birthday, husband and I took her to the Butterfly Pavilion. More photos to come.
I received a question from a student who is doing research and wants to know about Hmong child-birthing experiences in America. Here is her question: Hi! My name is Jasmine. I’m a student at Carleton College in Northfield, MN., studying to hopefully be a doctor one day. I’m doing a research project on multicultural medicine... Continue Reading →
