"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Fresh Snow...

...and huge blooms.

We got 4-5 inches of fresh snow overnight. I got out for a walk in the neighborhood mid morning...but it was windy and cold so I didn't last too long. 

But the sky was blue and clouds were fluffy so still a delight to get out.







The early morning view out my studio window.

I promise there will be a day I don't talk about amaryllis blooms...but not yet. Thanks for being patient. Linda D. clarified that some amaryllis can have more than four blooms on a stem. She had one with six!  How fun is that! Thanks Linda!

My first bloom is wide open today and a second one is close behind. They're huge!

I'm enjoying this raspberry red color...a nice pop of color on a wintry day.

    Snowfall on the ground, snowflakes showing off against the raspberry red of your wide open amarylis blossoms! So much beauty every which way.

    Dave cut back our forsythia a few weeks ago, and a gift of that gardening decision is that we brought bare winter sprigs indoors, plopped them in water in a vase with light pouring in through a kitchen window, and today our first tiny yellow blossoms opened. Accordingly, I am welcoming spring's imminence whether or not our local groundhogs agree : )
