Blooming

My amaryllis appears to think it's Christmas in August.  I'm not complaining because I'll take all the flowers I can get this summer, but is it a bit of a surprise!  I love white  flowers and this one is is wonderful.  I didn't do anything special, just have had it one the deck in a shady place and watered it. 

I made this little stegosaurus intending to make it into a whistle.  Life got in the way and by the time I got back to it, it was too dry to become a whistle.  It will make a nice little planter critter.  I'll try another whistle soon.

 We are finally able to enjoy summer.  We lost a good half of it to the unpleasantness of the caterpillars in all their forms.  We could use some rain though.  I think most of the northeast needs rain.

Enjoy the day and, as always, thanks for stopping by.......*s*

Manatee Monday

It doesn't always have to be Mugs on Monday.  Here are two manatee whistles waiting to be glazed and decorated.

The Stegosaurus started out as a dragon maquette and morphed into this.  I guess I wasn't paying attention!  

 
My favorite pie plate has developed a crack so I had to use a Pyrex plate to make

Banoffee Pie........ IT WAS DELICIOUS!

We woke up to snow this morning.  A few heavy, wet inches fell; nothing like what our local weather mavens have been having so much fun predicting!  Snow in March is not unusual here.

It's mostly melted now.

Enjoy the week ahead and, as always, thanks for stopping by..............*s*
