An Amaryllis Blooming

I’ve been saving up this photo project as a special treat for all of you, my Dear Readers! Ever since Dec. 23rd, when my DH gave me this amaryllis plant, I’ve been taking a photo every day. Rebekah, my daughter , was just telling me this morning how tired she was getting of the drab winter skies..and how it made everything outside look dull and gray. I have to say, she was right! 

                     

Day 1 and 2

So we took some of my advice about beating the winter blues and cranked up..not the beach boys..but some rousing new country pop. It's not that sad stuff..but much more upbeat and family friendly (at least during the day).

       

Day 4 and 5

I took away the old dried flowers from the table and planted my bright red amaryllis right smack dab in the middle of the table.

  Day 8

Day 9
Then, since I was getting lunch ready for DH and his co-worker, I added the bowl of fruit..and orange carrots..etc.

Day 10

I love bulbs better than any flower I know.

They are so cheerful, fresh, and full of the promise of Spring..

Day 11

and the next thing you know, we are all dancing and singing all through the living room and kitchen!! (No photos--thank you!)

 

   Day 15

 

Day 18 and still blooming…

No more winter blues at our house today!
Hope my flowers will brighten your day too. :o)  Have a happy, cheerful,  lovely winter day!

While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
And cold and heat,
And summer and winter,
And day and night
Shall not cease.
-Genesis 8:22-
