so happy to finally have an amaryllis…
I’ve had my grandson on the search for some for weeks…
he finally came across one and dropped it off…
it has a pot and soil, but I decided to put it in water and set it inside the snowflake…
looking forward to watching it grow…

been enjoying some beautiful flowers lately…
the cutest little orchid…
and I’ve been watching and waiting for my amaryllis to grow and bloom… I bought two at the same time and the one my daughter had bloomed beautifully at Christmas time…
mine did nothing for over a month… now it has started to grow in a manner that looks more like a hyacinth… will be interesting to see what happens…
a rose from the beginning of the week…

did a few jobs around the house this morning and then went out for lunch with my son-in-law…
caught him mid-bite… this would make my colleagues laugh as I am always taking pictures of them eating lunch with their mouths open, lol…
we popped into Costco and picked up a few last minute things… always happy to shop there with him because I usually pick up heavy items…
after he left I spent some time admiring the amaryllis… over the last number of weeks I’ve taken quite a few pictures as it has grown…
a nap, and then, I picked my kids up at the base and brought them home;-)…
happy holidays…

took a few shots of the amaryllis and paper whites tonight…
they are both starting to sprout and grow up… will be interesting to see if they actually bloom…
also enjoyed a few minutes with the flowers…
then I headed outside for a late night hot tub… Krevco came and replaced the heater on Friday… when I opened the cover the temperature was 90… rather disappointing, sigh…
guess I’ll be giving them a call tomorrow…

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…

this morning I wandered around and took a few pictures of the snow…
through the living room window… sun was shining… nice…
and from the dining room window… trees are very pretty…
my amaryllis is growing nicely, although no buds have started…
had a lazy day in my jammies watching tv, sleeping and eating…
seemed to be just the right thing to do…
