I can see it on my page when i go to edit the poem but I can't see any pics I have posted on my pages - I see soup are doing updates so I hope the things will return to normal later on as the poem doesn't make much sense without seeing what inspired the poem:-( hugs Jan xx

This photo and sentry remind me of of my wive's green thumb. Imagine taking a summer bath in Florida under several species of orchids not unlike your beautiful photo 'll let you know when I do! Great Write, Jan!

Jan Allison
Date: 9/1/2017 3:45:00 PM

I expect to see a picture Ralph of the orchids of course they are my favourite flower lol!!! I intend to take another picture earlier next year when the 'lady' is more visible and you can see her blonde hair and feet peeking up and all the bathing gels by the showerhead. Someone has a great sense of humour to have this display in their garden:-0 hugs jan xx
