The last blooms of winter

 My last amaryllis are blooming and are awesome.
My daughter gave me a box of bulbs for my birthday
in September and I have enjoyed their blooms all
winter. I think I will need to add to my collection
this year. Have yourself a quiet and restful Sunday.
I am cooking corned beef, potatoes and cabbage for
lunch to go along with the pineapple upside down cake
I made Saturday.  Than I will spend the day reading.

A bright spot in winter

 The last pot of flowers to watch bloom.
My daughter gave me a bag of bulbs in September
 for my birthday and I have been enjoying them
all winter. The trick is to bring a pot in every 2 weeks
and watch each one unfurl. The last one is the best.
The buds were ruffly and interesting.
Almost as pretty as the flower.
My husband has been out snow plowing all night.
Not bad for a 70 year old. He will be grouchy though.
I slept for 7 hours straight think maybe his snoring
is waking me up. I usually am awake at 2 am.
Today I will work on the Wolf River quilt
Another quilt that was meant for the Quilt National
entry. Well this one will also be great for our
May show. I will show you tomorrow.
Now off to play.
