My orchid has quickly become healthier in water than bark. I've never seen it bloom after purchasing. It has 10 buds so far!

I'm relieved the weather was mellow and we ventured around some. Seafood pasta for lunch. Stairs are almost dry from staining. We adjusted the heights to be even and ready to be glued down.

I got a different hot pot brand, and it was full of cumin. It was the surprise we needed! We added mirin, oyster sauce, butter and ginger slices.

We're getting closer to finishing the basement stairs.
