RAINY DAYS, et al...

Lashing, wind-driven rains from the East
have given us a leaking window frame;
whether (weather haha??) or not
it's the actual window wood surround
or the flashing we don't know as yet...

So, DH has taped it up until we can get
someone to come and check it out..
πŸ‘ΉπŸ‘ΊπŸ‘½πŸ‘Ώ
And, of course we noticed this late in the
evening when I thought I heard a loud 
splashing sound--at first I thought it
might be the downspout on the corner
near this window, but then I felt and saw
the water on the inside...ugh
Isn't it always something with a house????
************************
AND now....
On to better things:

I am pin basting "Late Autumn"
and 
working slowly on "Christmas Ojos (below)
I really so enjoy doing this--
one little square at a time...
hope my hands hold out...

Everything Comes and goes:
Picotee blossoms are beginning to fade
and all the while.....
others are still getting ready to bloom
↴↴↴↴↴↴
almost opening blossom 
and
 new bud ....
:)))))

Since I had such luck with this 
amaryllis I decided to
try a Waxed Amaryllis type:
no watering needed,
it comes ready to bloom 
with just a light source, 
but no sun...
This baby was also on sale...;)))
As you can see, it has begun to 
emerge...
;))))

That's a "wrap" for today--
We are still having gusting winds
that are
whipping rains against our
windows...
!!!!!!!

Fingers x-ed that the tape
will hold....😟

P.S.  A bit "under the weather" here
so may be off for a couple days...
