Just after new year's I planted an Amaryllis bulb, it grew very quickly, now the flower is almost ready to emerge from the green coating around it. Finally tossed the poinsettias I had in the house, the one I was trying to get to change colour did not do well, the one of purchased looked quite sad so they both went into the compost bin. I also have a couple of flowers showing bud on the cactus.
We debated whether to go for a walk this morning or not, as when we were having breakfast it was raining but stopped shortly thereafter. So all togged up we stepped out the door and it had started to rain/snow mix, off we went anyway. It was not too bad underfoot but still used my hiking poles to avoid any slipping on the snow covered ice. Then it started to snow big flakes, by the time we got home our clothes had to be put in the drier to dry them as they were so wet. It was not cold, so it was a nice walk just the same.
Hubby is out in the garage fixing the snow blower still, the part that directs the snow which is being picked up with the rotating blades is not working.
I will soon get into the sewing room and finish a quilt top, then should prepare the roast of beef we are having for dinner tonight. I took the last two portions of the cheese cake we had at Christmas out of the freezer for our dessert.
Have a great day.
Cheers.
What a lovely walk. And roast beef followed by cheese cake. Perfect.
ReplyDeletehubby broke off 2 shear pins on our snow blower. Managed to replace one but not the other. We had quite a bit of snow here in Barrie never left the house today!
ReplyDeleteWish I had thought of buying an Amaryllis. I need a bit of colour to brighten my indoor life! Managed a walk today but everything is so grey at the moment.
