No snow here as had been forecast earlier, boohoo! Slow falling, soaking,
dreary rain today, all day, then some cold, dry weather all next week and
for Christmas.
A beautiful loaf and big surprise from a dear friend this week.
Last evening with cheese it was delicious with a good bowl of
homemade pumpkin soup (the last of the season as I've used all
my cooking pumpkins). Note the jar of 'Pumpkin Spread'
from Trader Joe's - this was gifted with the bread and it is so
good.....slightly spiced and good with both sweet or savory nibbles.
Above, the re-potted yet again amaryllis bulbs - now several years old - in
November.
Below - today - two at least have sprung a bud under the watchful eye
of Diana the Huntress! Perhaps some blooms will surprise after the holidays
during the bleak days of January.
The Christmas Cactus purchased last week is opening its sweet buds
already and looks wonderful. I tucked it into my vintage ice bucket
which makes it spectacular on the dining room table.
Off soon to do some needed grocery shopping.
Cashmere sweater and warm booties weather at last, with a rain jacket
to throw over today, perhaps even a snug hat/beanie and a scarf.
