To liven up the dull days of winter, we plant bulbs. This amaryllis bulb was planted around December 1st, and is finally in partially full bloom. The amaryllis is so wonderful for yielding astonishingly beautiful blooms. I was surprised during my first and only trip to Florida to see them growing in the ground and in full bloom. There are advantages in living in a warmer climate. Today, however, is beautiful, with clear blue skies and dazzling white snow. The storm promised by both the red sunrise yesterday morning, as well as the weatherman on tv only resulted in the wind blowing last night. Must have blown the snow all towards the south. We were amused while watching the 10:00 news last night to see one of the reporters standing outside with snow drifting down on her hair. Why is it necessary to stand outside to deliver a news story when the weather is so unpleasant? Oh, well.

So why did I forget to plant my Amarillys? Please don't bother to answer that one! These are beautiful and great incentive to make a note for next winter's projects.
