Our light and airy sunroom gets all the more light and airy when bright white snow coats the branches beyond, and I love the look of my amaryllis’ first bloom against the backdrop of the wintry hemlock. As the day warmed, clumps of snow slid from the branches and exploded on impact with the ground below. Poof! Frosty sparkles all around, but for just a blink before they fell silent.
the amaryllis looks somehow shy, as if not knowing what to expect from the world around. You conjure up such a magical scene with your words, and the image goes all the way to sit perfectly with those words.
