a brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr morning.

I have not heard from lots of you how the weather is in your neck of the woods?

What do you do, now that gardening slowed down for the below freezing zones?

Oh Chocolate Brug.....thanks for the heads up. Cause when DD will call in a few minutes on her way to work, I will hear how freezing cold it is lol

Today I hope to brighten your day with this little ....and I mean little plant bloom

Amaryllis Chico

I just have to post another picture to show you HOW SHORT the stem is lol.

Amaryllis La Paz

Can you spot the Chico...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY down there? Both are on the table ha ha ha But it looks so cute and petite! Very pretty one.

Just as I hope that your day is a good one.

Praying that PLEASE God, no more painful days with loved ones passing .....People not getting hurt by crooks.....Things to get better for those in desperate need for their lives to be without struggles.

Hugs

Lucy

That's an interesting looking hippi. I wish that mine were short. I had to cut off a half dozen stalks because they fell, even having been staked. They just got too tall.

Good morning Lucy. No hangover here! But sure have a headache! Was planning on a quit night at home. Setting outside by the fire with DH. Ending up spending the night in the ER with HB having chest pain. Said they thought it was form stress but wanted him to stay. But the hard head checked himself out! He is going to follow up with his heart Dr. Anyway, hope your new years eve was better. Keep me and him in your prayers. I sure hope the worst is over and we have a better year ahead. Mom should be coming home this week. Thanks for the prayers. She is doing so much better. Up walking around, eating and all. Still needs a little walk on the stairs. But getting there. She is sure ready to come home. ANYWAY! Happy New Year to all. Please kept My family and me in your prayers for a good year to come. Love and hugs Dorothy

those are some really neat shrubs! They are just barely starting to become popular here. There's a house down the street that has an enourmous clump of the yellow flowered variety. Two years ago, you could find one every once in a while in a nursery here and there. Now, the big box stores carry them by the hundreds and they're starting to be used a lot. I had two, but because of space issues gave the second one away. Mine is still in bud though.

Kristy I thought I recognized those deer roflmao. Seeing a whole flock of butterflies is awesome, isn't it :-) Oh the boys are fine. Just their pride hurt. Chandelier still hanging on a thread. So all in all, the Tarzan's just have to pay for the repair of securing the light fixture back into the hole lol Pat and everyone, that was my thought. But do you really think there would be a camera running when the get into something like THAT? No no Mom was upstairs doing laundry rofl. Having the passiflora growing just for THAT reason Pat. I LOVE watching those stages! Shirley now THAT IS FUNNY. lol. I mean I can see Alexander, the youngest grandson, wearing the leggins from Maddy, that we forgot when we visited them last summer. But GRANDMA's PANTS??? rofl Diane how was the Boulder Handweavers Show? Oh my a grandson....you MUST share!!!!We could introduce him to Dave's Katie lol they can grow up together in the virtual world rofl Margaret that makes two of us. I never know what I am up to either roflmao. I do not have a clue what I do each day lol April ...roflmao I ALMOST told DD to come and take a look when I saw your animation ha ha ha ha Lucy

Good morning all. Lucy, you don't want to hear about our weather. I just don't like posting about it when others are having such a hard time. Those flowers are beautiful, and the name Chico is so appropriate for that shorty, lol! Wow, the bloom on the third amaryllis is fantastic! Looks like an old fashion bouquet of flowers.

Eloise but it makes us feel good that SOMEWHERE, some of our friends are having good weather :-)

Trust me, I would NEVER freely cut off a bloom from a Amaryllis to put in a Vase...but like Karyn said...sometimes all the support is just not sufficient enough :-(

Good Morning all!
Beautiful Amaryllis. I was late getting mine this year.
So hope to have some blooms later.

Beautiful Amaryllis, mine got too tall this year also.

Brrrrrrrrrr is right!

Here in San Antonio we are expecting the coldest weather in 40 years. We might not get above freezing on Friday!

Many of the plants I brought in a few weeks ago are sprouting new leaves. The first hard freeze snuck up on us and I accidentally left the Duranta out and thought it was dead, but now it's sprouting new leaves. Even one small Brug cutting that got left out is now sprouting from the bottom even though the top is shriveled.

We'll be moving the Christmas lights over to the plants that are too big to bring in.

The brugs are all covered with buds, I hope most of them open before the deep freeze hits us. The majority of the plants will survive. Whatever happens it won't be as bad as Ike!

Ya just gotta role with the punches. When I think I might get depressed I think of how much worse it could be. And go out in the garden. No gardening this week except cold protection. At least I don't live in Alaska.
Tally HO!

Yupp that is what I say most of the times...it could be worse. But now matter how good you are at it...SOME THINGS will get to you and you just got to let it ride out and then get on with it.

It was great working outside for about 1 hour today.

I figured I better get busy and the sun was out so nicely. Cold...but NICE!

Beautiful flowers Lucy! Many of my stalks have snapped off too. Red peacock went into the vase tonight, lol. I spent the day cleaning up a car to sell. It was chilly but I figured I better get it done before it got any colder. I need to put out some more mulch tomorrow. I hope my duranta comes back.
