I just placed a nice couple into this Furnished Rental listing that I market for the owner.  These folks just moved here from out of state, took a new job and have been living in a motel for the past month. Now, they will be residing in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1 car garage home with a fenced yard for the next 3 to 5 months until I can find them a nice home to purchase. It's been challenging for them to stay in a motel this long, especially since they have a large dog and a tabby cat. The fenced yard on this home will provide some exercise area for the collie. I am always so happy when I can make a client happy.

I was so excited to see that my orchids are beginning to bloom. I rescued them from the back yard of a person that was not taking care of them. Seems she would buy a pretty orchid at the store; after the flowers dropped off she would just toss the plant into the back yard. I collected them all, took them out of their overgrown pots, cut off all the dead roots, split some of them and pretty much made new ones. It's been about a month and a half in their new pots with fresh wood chips and fertilizer, and plenty of humidity and moisture. The fruits of my labor are beginning to show. I had a few of them open up over the long 4th of July Holiday weekend. SPIDER ORCHID - 1ST BLOOM OPEN SPIDER ORCHID - 2ND BLOOM OPEN OCTOPUS ORCHID CATTLEYA ORCHID CATTLEYA ORCHID
