On Thursday I stopped by a plant nursery on Old Hope Road and bought a single orchid plant to take to Sts Peter and Paul to leave at the Columbarium where my Moms' ashes are. As I was walking in I realized that this orchid really was coming from me... meaning I'd just lodged my first paycheck the day before. The orchid was bought with my money earned by working hard down at Beechwood Avenue.
That felt good.
What felt even better was realizing that my timing was great. The other orchids had been cleared away and there was only one green, shrub looking plant there. So I went and got the ceramic finished pot that I'd bought last year when I carried my first orchid to the Columbarium and placed it on the stand right beside the column of ashes.
