Is Mom a Martian?

Hmmm, hard to tell. If she is, we must be alien space babies.

 

Cute little waterfall, tucked under Rt. 82 in Brecksville.

 

Apple Blossom, blooming away. My neighbors actually peeked in the basement windows to see what was going on with the plant lights. A tad cheeky, don't you think?

Bellacino's, yum. And there's always enough for tomorrow's lunch.

Mom (or the alien posing as Mom), gave me this mustard pot. It's been in the family for a while. Note the phoenix, apparently rising from the flames of Chinese hot mustard.

That's it for tonight. Almost through February's photos and it's already April.

Amaryllis 'Lisa'

Lisa gave me a giant amaryllis bulb for Christmas - it's as big as a baby's head. I left it in the bag on the kitchen counter, planning to pot it up after the January Sales Meeting. It had other ideas, deciding to sprout in the bag, no dirt, no water, nothing. It's in a low terra cotta pot now, blooming madly. And, bless it's bulbous little heart, it waited until I got home from the sales meeting to bloom.

Thanks, Lisa - I love it!! February 2, 2011

Is this the MOST glorious orange?
