woke up at 1:30 am to see the moon shining through the window… just above it and off to the side was a bright planet… a few seconds later it was covered by clouds… again, amazing to wake up at just the right moment to see the beautiful view…

then, on our way to the office, I got this view…

  
a Facebook memory this morning from four years back showed this lovely amaryllis… I had taken the picture looking out the window at the snow…

  
here is a picture of the amaryllis that I bought this year around Christmas… showed a beautiful pale pink flower on the box…

  
sadly, not a single blossom…

but the amazing thing is that the orchid continues to bloom… I so love flowers in the depths of winter…

  
more beautiful moments in my life…
