Last week i did the satisfying job of pulling my Amaryllis out of the closet they have been sitting in for 2 months and replanting them with fresh dirt..I took this picture soon after repotting.. Its been a week and 'Red Lion' has won the race for who puts out the first growth... now it looks like its putting out a leaf and not a bud... and that has been my problem... I can get them to 'regrow' but i've been having problems getting them to rebloom... We'll see how it goes this year... if no blooms i see two courses of action i could take... but we'll get into it then... You can't tell in this picture but the 'Magickal Beans have been UV coated and Satin Clear Coated AND glitter put on each bean AND I found this yellow frame at HL that my daughter assures me is perfect... I'm more of a stained wood frame person myself... but i do see how this brings out the colors... Thoughts?Did you ever sign up to paint something and then struggle with it... I picked up two wooden suns like this at the Dollar Store and painted one for myself in yellows/oranges/gold with the other for my daughter... and i struggled with her color scheme of green /brown/copper.... I don't think i could ever paint on commission .... If it doesn't inspire me i have a difficult time making myself do it... You?
Well good news we scored some rain and cooler temps... Warmest November in my recent memory... Yesterday i finished up trimming all the grass and making it look neat... Firming up Thanksgiving plans and menu.... tomorrow i start cooking.. I get to make a pumpkin pie and deviled eggs... Thanksgiving Day Hubby makes turkey breasts and i will do the mashed potatoes and daughter is bringing the stuffing... If you celebrate i hope you have a lovely day with your loved ones... Thank you for stopping by! Hugs! deb
Good afternoon Deb, I prefer wooden frames to but the painted one does look good with your painting. Glad you got some rain- we had rain last night, weather not too bad today but the temps are dropping to the 20s and below for the coming days-of course I new furnace is acting up-again-so upset with this install-it is still under warranty til early January so that's something-if they tell me a part will take til after thanksgiving I won't be happy sigh
ReplyDeleteI always do a whole turkey even though it is just the two of us-I break it all down afterwards and cook up a chicken stock with the bones etc. and freeze a lot of the meat for other meals. Am stressed with this furnace issue today, hoping tomorrow to bake a pie. I do have a pecan pie in the freezer.
Happy Thanksgiving-hugs from the lake
ooops sorry for the typo errors and that would be turkey stock not chicken haha
DeleteThe yellow frame is definitely perfect! The color coordinates and it adds to the whimsy. I think you would lose that with a traditional stained wood frame. I know nothing about birthing amaryllis. Ma had them, but I never paid attention to what she did. Have a lovely Thanksgiving.
