I was given and Amaryllis three years ago, but the last two years it never bloomed, just leaves...
I spotted bulbs in a box store and had to purchase one... took the old bulb out of the pot, cut it all down and replaced with this... and in a matter of weeks, this new one is ready to pop!
I'm hoping the other bulb will come alive next year.
and take in all the beauty at Bayard Cutting Arboretum...
Happy Bench Monday and wishing everyone a wonderful new week!!

When my daughter was around 8-10 years old (she's now 31)... she wanted this tiny little plant that was in a small clay pot to keep in her room.... and she named it Harold.
Years later, she went off to collage and I cared for him... he has branched off and also graduated into a larger clay pot!!
Been under the cosh healthwise just lately … coming out of it slowly. So another stroll through the city cemetary to remind myself that whilst there is still breath in my ageing carcass I’m still better off than the occupants of the tombs herein.
Every time I'm in our garden, I cannot resist taking pictures of our Rudbeckia. Here, I separated a single flower, where the setting sun was shining through the neighbors hedge which created a quite nice bokeh. I hope you like it!
You are taking one courageous step after another down the healing road. While these are healthy steps, it’s intensely challenging to face the unknown and experiences so terrorizing that your mind wisely blocked them out for the sake of your survival. This is too much to handle alone and it’s important to remember that God’s presence surrounds you in each moment and you have the gift of your small though incredibly mighty group of supporters. Things are unclear, difficult, scary, require a tremendous amount of perseverance, and when you reflect on the past the healing process is evident, encouraging and certainly worth the effort it requires.

Recently I was struggling a lot with my own intense mental health struggles in addition to the stress and fear of my husband’s health struggles and recent hospitalization. Somehow I found the strength to spend some time outside capturing the beauty I saw in the fog and frost that was visible through the windows that morning—it seemed to tell an important, uplifting story that helped me continue pressing on.
I got up early and embarked on an early morning stalk, I mean, walk around the narrow alleys of Amsterdam.
This picture is dedicated to all of you and your loving support (sry, I wasn't able to find a prettier leaf)! It means a lot to me, especially in such hard times like this year, and I really want to thank you for every single fav and comment! I wish you a happy new year and even though I uploaded around 250 images this year, I hope that 2017 will be an even more creative year! May the light be with you :)
