Here's my orchid plant today
There are 7 flowers on one of the branches
And 10 flowers on the other branch
Recently I've been making little changes to my life, just because I feel it's time to do so. In the past, I'd always make the 5 minute drive to the supermarket for my grocery shopping, Now I walk the 3 mile round trip instead and get double benefits out of it.
First, walking is healthy, we all know that. I can easily rake up my 10000 steps a day. Second, and the most important benefit, it's healthy for my wallet. When I drive, I often end up buying loads of things that I don't need. But when I walk, I avoid buying too much because I have to carry it!! Soft drinks are heavy. Ice cream will melt before I get home. I reckon I've saved quite a bit of money this way!
Actually, there's a third benefit with my little change in lifestyle. I discovered my local scenery ain't half bad. It's a very typical England residential area but I really enjoy these little walks and enjoy see the landscape change from winter into spring.
Answer to March HPUD Guessing Contest
My orchid plant is coming along nicely and the bud I showed you 10 days ago has bloomed. It was quite difficult to count the flowers,but many of you did well this month and guessed correctly. There are 17 flowers - 7 flowers on the left branch and 10 on the other. I've numbered them in the photos.
Congrats to the 8 winners of which 5 of you powered up on HPUD. Your share of the 100HP will be powered up to you soon, along with your bonus if you powered up.
See you all in April HPUD.
