01.29.2007 :: Donna Lily, Icicle and sky, oh my!
Here I am. Will you be able to stand all of this plant talk from me?
Let's hope.
Amaryllis Cam, day 5:
Okay, once again, pay no attention to the poor paint deprived wall in back of the plant. I'd love to sit here and pretend that is the wall covering that we purposely picked out with a plan of country shabby as our theme, but honestly, we'd all know I'd be lying. Perhaps someday we'll get around to painting it. Or not. It matters not to me.
So, Donna Lily is growing up. So fast, don't you think? She is leaning a bit to the right. Political at such a young age. I turned her pot around so that the sun will pull her to the left.
I guess I've been all about enjoying photos lately. Like this one:
An icicle on the corner of my house with the solarize setting. This photo is doing double duty here and on my Photo A Day. Icicles like to form on that corner of the house due to gutter troubles. I know. We need to concentrate on home repairs. Don't nag me!
:)
I've been knitting my little fingers off but I'm not going to show you yet. It's the same baby sweater as seen a couple of days ago and I love love it. Love. And it is monopolizing my attention from almost anything else. Which is good if you are the baby sweater but bad if you have come here looking for diverse knitting.
Go little amaryllis go!
Time for one more?
What a beautifully blue sky we had this afternoon. So cold and crisp and Gorgeous on the eyes!

Re: Chicken comment - that was a popular one in our house too. My personal favourite, however..."I'd rather set my gums on fire!"

Oh Sandy! You have blue sky...so much envy is welling in my heart. But, you do deserve blue skies and warm hugs. I've been so bad about correspondence lately and I just want to say hey and love you, too!

Can I just tell you how MUCH I am enjoying Amaryllis Cam? It's such a hopeful thing to do in the middle of winter. :-)

If you had not brought the poor paint-deprived wall to our attention, we never would have noticed. I love your Donna-cam.

Seriously. That's amazing.

She's doing great, Sandy!

Ooh, she grew a lot today!

That is great your amaryllis is going to bloom. We received one about 9 years ago from my husband's sister. We got it to bloom for the first 5 or 6 years. Then, the last couple of years we haven't been able to get it to bloom anymore, it will only grow leaves. We have tried putting it in the freezer and hiding it in a closet without water for over a month. Maybe we need to repot it? I don't know.

That sky is beautiful. My apple blossom amaryllis is not showing any sign of blooming, but its leaves are about a foot tall.

I love your amaryllis cam pictures! I also bought home 3 clearance amarylli, and I'm really enjoying watching them, along with some hyacinth bulbs. Go Donna! And your wall isn't "paint-deprived"; I believe Martha would call it "rustic w/ a patina".
