A belated holiday ...

By recent posts, you can deduce that my Life has been chaotic. Not in a bad way - just in a crazy, "Calgon-take-me-away" kind of way. Things are better, I am adjusting more readily to life's surprises: thank God for the wonderful gift of 'The Rosary'.

This weekend, my sister & her family will be visiting. We will be celebrating a very belated Christmas. Miles, snowstorms & surgery played into this delay! I am truly looking forward to their visit.

On that note ... my amaryllis finally bloomed - see?

Ah .... Winter is coming!

I am one of those sick individuals who LOVE cold weather! Yes - I am blessed with a warm home & food; good winter clothes & lots of wool. I DO count my many blessings and thank the Good Lord for them all.

Seriously - this time of cold & dark - is my most favorite and most productive. I am an admitted 'homebody'. I don't feel the need to travel - after all, I have everything that I want/need *right here!*

That being said ... I planted two amaryllis the day before Thanksgiving. One is called "Alfresco" -the other, "Grand Diva." Mail order is wonderful as I purchased these babies from White Flower Farm - these bulbs had a circumference of (approx) 11"!


Stay tuned ... hopefully, we which watch them grow together!

Now, getting back to the homebody thing ... as yesterday was Sunday - it was spent watching football & spinning wool. I am currently spinning shetland and my goal is to have the whole bag spun *this WEEK!* Again, stay tuned .... I am using the JOYness as Moonshine still likes to 'get involved' with whatever I do. Suffice to say ... I think she finds my life pretty boring!



All good ... I just might be able to spin that big bag o'wool after all! WhEEE!
