I could do a second blog entry about orchids dedicated to Richard, but I feel like that could be seen as slightly over the top. I don’t know him well enough, and most importantly, he doesn’t know me well enough to know that dedications and gifts and homemade pastries is just something that I do to people that I like, even if I don’t really know them. I’m bad at telling people in words, face to face, what I feel, so I compensate by knitting socks and writing short stories and making elaborate covers to mix CDs.
Well, anyway. Because I want to stay cool, this is just an ordinary blog entry with photos of the beautiful orchids and other flowers that they had in the extraordinarily cute Volunteer Park Conservatory.
