Orchid Chronicles: The Orchid Center has seen a lot of snow the last few days. Great snow for making a snowman, which the neighbors across the street from the center created. The snowman is a cheery fellow complete with hat, scarf, and smile. When it finally quit snowing, the orchid ladies could see the snowman and started making comments right away:
" Director, why is there a big white round ...man staring at us from outside?"
" The big white round man just stares at us and won't talk."
" What is that thing on top of his head?"
" I should smack that smile off his face!"
" He's not very smart. He only has a scarf to keep him warm."
It took a bit of doing to explain to the orchid ladies about snowman. First of all most of them have never seen snow, let alone making a snowman out of it. The orchid ladies finally decided that it was just another weird human custom, and went about their daily routines. Orchita, however said, " If humans saw us making a snowman they think we were crazy!"
"I heard that last statement, Orchita!" I said to her. "By the way only some humans are crazy."
I winked at Orchita to let her know that I didn't take her last comment personally...
After all, I've made a lot of snowmen myself, and I'm only half crazy.
