My husband and I get a kick out of that show and I like seeing the surrounding streets, homes, and countryside. The drawings of Marvin are charming. My father in law's name is Marvin, but he does not resemble your Marvin in any way, shape or form.

And I do love your orchids. My mother gave me so many. They were bud out and then the buds would fall off. We finally decided that it was the propane gas given off by our gas fireplace! Had to choose between warm and pretty - warm won! Thanks for sharing yours. Makes me long for pretty.webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465266982839881097.post-72096125181612062422011-01-08T20:41:12.190+00:002011-01-08T20:41:12.190+00:00goodness, such orchid purity.

I was just reading how difficult it is to "plant" mistletoe in the garden section of the weekend paper and apparently it takes up to 2 years to produce berries even if you are successful. Love the umbelifer panels and can't wait to see the finished box. Lovely sketch of Marvin and your Siamese was a beautiufl girl too. It is impossible to "replace" a well loved pet but when another arrives with its own totally different character and weaves its way into your heart you forget any resolutions made earlier!!<br /><br />Jane xMarigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465266982839881097.post-37638531671072891772011-01-08T19:42:19.447+00:002011-01-08T19:42:19.447+00:00A great collection of musings.
