Herbs are one of my favorites in the kitchen as well. A friend dropped a white orchid by the day before Christmas a a thank-you. I just love it. I hope I can keep it living. I've always thought they are a little temperamental. My friend suggested placing a few ice cubes in the pot once a week instead of watering so as not to over water. So that's my plan. Happy New Year.

Days are lengthening already since December 21st and since we celebrated Christmas in the tropics, Indonesia where we lived, we did bring lots of evergreen trees in our garden. Our view is a 'GREEN' one and than it is easy to bring it inside the home. Love orchids and palms, they look so exotic and tropical, they pick you up. If anyone ever traveled to Singapore, their airport is FULL with orchids. Looks like you arrived at the heaven's gate instead of being at the airport. They know how to brighten up their life, just walk down Orchard Road in Singapore around the end of the year... A DREAM! <br />We miss it but we do have year-round-green with us!<br /><br />Enjoy your last days of 2010!<br /><br />Mariette's Back to BasicsMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-55599225874214327802010-12-28T09:57:06.466-08:002010-12-28T09:57:06.466-08:00I agree.

The only time it's not in the living room is when a Christmas tree replaces it for a while. I also love to have an orchid in the living room...or any room for that matter!<br />I love the images and you have inspired me not to dread taking down the decorations after New Years.

Also, the home just has an overall sense of warmth and comfort that somehow seems lost when everything comes down. And for me - tabletops, mantles, etc look barren. LOL <br /><br />I agree, some fresh plants and a good cleaning are generally in store for me. It just takes me a few days to get used to the new/old look again. :)Barb @ The Everyday Home https://www.blogger.com/profile/02749743682942410349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-62740120089210494482010-12-28T08:25:56.714-08:002010-12-28T08:25:56.714-08:00So true, Kathysue!
