Blogging without pictures 03-07-19

I may have to give up blogging  until I learn how to deal with pictures on this new laptop and Word 10 and no Picasa.  I went to San Diego to do a program for Seaside Quilt Guild on Tuesday night - I can write about it but no pictures.  

You can see that KoKo has made lots of holes in Froggie which I have tried to keep mended.  He will pull the batting out and, I assume, swallow it, which can't be good for him, or for Froggie. 

KoKo doesn't much like to be covered up, but he will crawl under something I have in my lap in order to get my attention.  

I give up, the computer gremlins have decided to underline everything and I can't turn it off.    Good night!

Amaryllis for Christmas and long afterward 03-04-19

Amaryllis bulbs blooming and blooming and blooming and...…

Until this year I had never seen amaryllis bulbs dipped in wax and sold at Christmas time.  Always before they came in a box full of soil in a plastic bag.  I sent some of them to several different friends and we have all had amazing continuing blossoms since Christmas.  The bulb on the left is on its third blooming stalk always three flowers on each stalk, but I have cut off the first fading flowers.  It appears that the bulb on the right is ready to send up another stalk.  AMAZING.
