Around the House

All evidence of Christmas has been packed away.  The sideboard has a different look as does Mom`s old treadle sewing machine.  I even put out a few Valentines.




The grocery store Hyacinth is blooming and spreading its scent in the sunroom.


I haven`t killed the Poinsettia yet although a number of leaves have dried up and fallen.


If you look closely you can see some tiny new growth on the last of my  Amaryllis to come out of dormancy.


And this one has a beautiful flower and 3 or 4 buds yet to develop.  Outside you can see just how snowy the back yard is..



Thanks for visiting today.

One more picture.....  G.M.

  3. No mosquitos here either! :-) . Your decorations are lovely as your your flowers. Anything springlike or green is very welcome right now. It's all white outside here.
    Blessings,

  4. Healthy amaryllis. Mine did not bud, just leaves this year. Something wrong. But I still like the plant.

  6. It does look wintery out your window, but very warm and cozy in your house. You definitely have a green thumb! Would you believe we still have our Christmas tree up?

  8. I think I am definitely going to get an amaryllis at some point. Yours is just so beautiful. That sewing machine cabinet is just like the cabinet that held the treadle that I learned to sew on.

  11. I think I could smell the sweet scent of that Hyacinth. :) That flower against all the snow in the last picture is amazing.

  14. I have just now caught up with reading the latest of your posts. Your amaryllis in bloom is simply gorgeous! I love hyacinths but am too scent sensitive to have them in the house though I would love to have them grace my table.

  16. Your plants are a delight. I am thankful that we haven't had any snow unlike you...my goodness!

  17. You have quite a few amaryllis! That would be fun, to see them emerge one by one, and bloom...

  18. My favorite season is No Mosquito season! We are cold too, but no snow thankfully. Your inside blooms look so bright and happy. Our Christmas is long put away -- I now regard January and "Quiet Winter" as a season all its own to be welcomed and relished. I'm hibernating.
