Now it looks like this and there are two flowers in this pot. Another pot behind it has another bulb ready to bloom. \u00a0Amaryllises always amaze me. \u00a0You get this big, ugly, almost dead looking bulb and it sits there in the soil for weeks and weeks and you think it\u2019s dead and then suddenly, boom, there\u2019s this tall flower and they aren\u2019t little flowers. \u00a0This plant is several years old. \u00a0A couple of years ago I had it in an upstairs bedroom and pretty much forgot about it. \u00a0It got very little watering, but one day, I went into that room for something and there was this beautiful full flower. \u00a0I was shocked. \u00a0The next year I had it out in my shop and it bloomed again. \u00a0This is the third or fourth year it has bloomed and I think this year\u2019s is the largest one yet. Just gorgeous. \u00a0I think it likes the greenhouse. \u00a0Other flowers are blooming now, too.<\/p>\n Geraniums and one little petunia that seeded itself in a geranium pot. \u00a0And I have vegetables.<\/p>\n Leaf lettuce and I have cherry tomatoes coming up, but didn\u2019t get pictures. \u00a0So the greenhouse \u00a0is buzzing now. \u00a0David is preparing garden beds for my annual flowers, plus I have some lavender plants I ordered online and Rudbeckia or Black-eyed Susans coming. \u00a0David made a bed for strawberries we started last year and is also growing rhubarb. \u00a0He never showed much interest in gardening until the last couple of years and it\u2019s kind of nice. \u00a0I can\u2019t wait to have fresh strawberries and strawberry shortcake. \u00a0I love wilted lettuce, too. To make it I fry a few slices of bacon in an iron skillet until they are crispy, remove them and crumble them up. Then I saut\u00e9 some chopped onions in the bacon grease \u00a0until they look translucent add some brown sugar and apple cider vinegar, stir and pour this over a big bowl of washed leaf lettuce. Put the crumbled bacon on top and toss a little, then eat. \u00a0It is so good. \u00a0You really need a lot of leaf lettuce to make this because it, well, wilts when the hot bacon grease mixture goes on it and you really think you don\u2019t have enough lettuce!<\/p>\n it is still raining as I write this in the evening. \u00a0I have \u00a0an eye doctor appointment tomorrow. The last couple of times I didn\u2019t need a shot in the eye, but he still wants to keep checking it. \u00a0I really like the doctor, but his office visits take several hours. We drive one hour there, spend at least two or more hours in the waiting room and another hour drive home so it\u2019s an almost all day thing. \u00a0David takes a puzzle book with him and I take a book to entertain ourselves.<\/p>\n we had a total eclipse of the moon several nights ago. \u00a0It happened at 2:30 to 3:30 in the morning. \u00a0David wanted to stay up and I told him to wake me up. \u00a0There I was in the early morning hour looking at the moon, in my nightgown. \u00a0It was cold so I went into the greenhouse to get warm. Then I came out to look \u00a0again, but I am not a cold liking person so I went back inside and into my warm bed. \u00a0David did take pictures so I got to see what it looked like. I will have to show you those another time, too, \u00a0because they are not on my iPad.<\/p>\n Here are a few quilts I have made for the quilt group I joined on Facebook. I have so enjoyed this group. I made a boo boo cutting some of the blocks so I made a mug rug to use.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
