The Organizer

My daughter-in-law has the gift of organization. She likes to use her gift to help others. She cleans up messes that other people make.

While the rest of the adults saw a movie at the theater, Audra organized my daughter's pantry. This feat turned into a video that Audra and John made as their talent for this year's Christmas Family Talent Show.

A legend in our family, now I share Audra with the world.

This is not the end, only the middle of a continuing story . . .

Amaryllis by New Year's

The amaryllis surprises; the life is in the bulb.

Last year, the bulb I planted had no flowers. This one has three blossoms so far. A wonder to watch it open, it gets top-heavy and tips over so a stake and a tie help support the weight.

It's worth the wait.
 

A friend planted this bulb in a glass bowl and told me to water it with ice cubes, 4 or 5, a couple of times a week.

I started taking pictures every day after Christmas. It didn't take long to go from this . . .

 . . . to this.

 And now I can't decide which view I like best.

Here's a link to basic information about amaryllis bulbs because this glorious flower does all the work. No green thumb required.
