I totally forgot (👽) that I had stored my
last Christmas' Amaryllis in my
dark front hall closet over the Summer....
👀👹💀👀
While scrolling through my photos, which
I transferred onto my new phone.
(Tom and I got each other new
phones for Christmas this year)
I saw this picture:
Y I K E S ~~
I even forgot to water it.....👹
Will it come back to life for me
this year????
Stay tuned--
And....is this even the same
plant????
Because I have had various
amaryllises through the
years....?????
[this picture is dated 2018]
Had I kept it this long???
S I G H...
*******************
And.....
A few of you asked to see pictures of
where we walk by the CT River --
Here is the view from the parking lot:
Such a lovely spot....can you make out
the benches provided for seating??
[the bridge on the right is I-95 passing
over the river.....]
(click)
&
Here is the start of our stroll:
Right by the riverside....
Looking ahead we can see the old (1907)
railroad bridge which they are in the
process of replacing:
Next we walk by the CT DEEP installation
on our right...
That day we saw our Coast guard boat
sailing by....;))))
↓↓↓↓
Tom was very excited to see it this close up...
Here you can see the State's
informational sign,,,,
detailing all the wildlife in this
protected spot....
[and the ecological barrier the
construction people have
erected behind it].
And now....
the bridge is opening to let
boats through to the open waters
of Long Island Sound and beyond...
[you can just about make out a couple
of workers standing right there]
(click)
and we say "farewell" to the
Coastguard as it sails under
the opened bridge....
while those workers watch....
↧↧↧↧
We continue our stroll here on our
way under the bridge....
the boardwalk
continues way out to a bird watching
platform here.....it was way
too windy to venture all the way
out that day...
It is a lovely spot ==
the sunlight on the marsh
grasses is always a lovely site
💚💚💚💚
We don't know
how long this area will remain open while
they are working on the building of a
totally new RR bridge and
walking area...
.But
they are slated to finish by 2031.
So who knows when this area will become
closed to the public....????
Maybe this January????
sooooo,
We are walking there as much as
possible --weather permitting...
The area is about 10 minutes
down the road from us--so very
convenient...
*******************************
Here are my cacti for those of you
who asked to see them
in situ:
our tv room.....
that has
already lost a couple of
bi-color peach/rose
blooms....
My little pot cherub is waiting
patiently for this one to
set bud.....
And in the corner sits my
"old faithful"
spider plant ....
Yesterday I sewed 4 little
blue & white 9-patch
blocks and set up
4 more....
*****************************
I hope you are having wonderful
pre-holiday weekend...
We are pretty much prepared
for the T-day crowd except
for a bit of last minute
shopping this coming Monday....
Hugs, Julierose
