A Spot of Contrast !

No way were we going to have a "festive season" without an Amaryllis !

And when this beauty is finished, the one on the left will take its place !

Maybe this year I'll follow the instructions and see if I can get it to come back for next Xmas.

Some time towards the end of the month there'll be daffodils and tulips available that can help hasten the arrival of spring, which according to my optimistic calendar should only be two months away. Dream on. With a bit of luck it will have arrived by mid February when I venture to the West Coast to visit our Pacific family members.

This morning the cold has let-up. It is only -9C so we can enjoy the snowfall. More snowblowing in store for later on today.

Have a great day.
