Good morning Linda! So great to see you 2 days in a row! :) Woohoo...made my morning. :) I LOVE those "two old fluffy girlies" so sweet. Hugs to you and keep going, my friend. You're doing amazing!
Did the weight of its beauty - its blooms - cause the amaryllis to topple? I experience a sense of loss when our orchid drops its last blossom, when the fragrant southern magnolias have finished dropping their bloom segments atop the leaf litter.
To me your returning home and clearing and organizing your living space is akin to Nature’s cycles. Not a sense of loss. Judy Collins, on Bread and Roses, sang “Everything Must Change,” noting natural cycles we can’t change and daily moments of what endures.
I wish bursting buds and many blooms to brighten your environment as Summer arrives. And the drying of mud in your yard!
Thank you Gary! Yes, the heavy-headed amaryllis toppled because of the imbalance of bloom vs the pot. I need to remember to plant them in a heavier pot. I like this perspective on my return and natural cycles. A few snowdrops have popped out already. They are almost startling to see. I hope spring is showing herself where you are, Gary.
Indeed she has and continues to. When Spanish explorers set foot in this area, the name, “la florida,” referred to all the flora they encountered. Learning of native plants in this area is one of my delights. Mostly perennial and hardy as well as beautiful.

Thank you, Julie, always love seeing you and having you on my cheer squad. It makes all the difference!
You’re the BEST Linda! I’m so happy we’re here for it all— together.
