What does the fox say?

So this handsome fellow lives nearby and just was sauntering through our backyard. 
What does a fox say?
Not sure, there is quite a bit of yipping at night.



This may or may not be the same fox that delayed the kids from coming home last year.
We got a call saying there would be a delay, 
because there was a fox and a bear in the playground.
It's all good.

They are not doing well but still hoping...



Here we are in 2014 and last year this time I was watching my orchids take off and had a sweet little fern that was doing well. 


This year, perhaps I overwatered, but no orchids at this point, and unlikely at all.  There are no leaves, all gone. And the roots above, all dried up and were brown. Just pitiful. 

I took the root ball and aired it out a bit and cut one of the roots and placed in a second container and then repotted the remainder.  I tried to allow for air and used a mixture of moss/perlite and the original pellets.  The roots below were white and some greenish, but a little soggy. I gave a tiny bit of orchid food and no extra water or ice at this point. Now we wait. Hopefully I did it right, orchids are finicky.
