Now comes the big wait...

Amaryrillis bulbs

Today I finally relented to getting the Christmas decorations down and put away. I hold my dear hubby off as long as possible, because I know that for at least the next month, things will be kind of bleak around here as far as the visual scene is concerned. Putting away the Christmas decorations seems to leave such a big emptiness. I do cheat a little and leave up some technically non -Christmas items that I determine are winter wonderlandish. My pale green snowman, some of the twinkle lights I have draped around. A few white and beaded garlands, and even some burgundy candle wreaths and such. But my biggest hope of visual happiness will come when something starts to grow again. Outside, even though we have a fairly mild winter, it will still be a couple of months for any hope there. We plant our peas on Presidents Day, Feb.18th. But I can and do start growing anything and everything I can think of on the inside now. I have already started 3 Amaryrillis bulbs, two white and one pink. I picked up a nice little starter set for those garden seedlings that will just fit in my tiny laundry room. Time to sort through last years seeds, and check out those seed catalogs I have been chucking in a basket to read, for such a time as this. I think a few more plants might help too, especially if they have flowers… Well bye for now I am off to the store to see if I can round up some green stuff, yeah!
