Happy New Year. A wonderful Christmas this year - saw family in Dallas and Chicago. Of course time with the grandbabies - the best!
I wanted to share a picture of my Amaryllis this year - last year I attempted to nurture one of these babies to life and it did not go so well (as Adrian well knows). Well this year was a different story. Despite the lack of sun (and my lack of green thumb), the flower thrived.
One more thing - fireworks on New Year's Eve is a big thing over here. It was amazing to look outside your window and there close by, spectacular fireworks being launched into the air. Anyone can launch fireworks anywhere - amazing to someone use to a very controlled firework setup and from a state experiencing extreme drought. There were also lovely lanterns floating in the air as well. Spectacular.
