************************
My amaryllis is coming
along...
I staked it 
in my favorite blue and white
pot...
It is sitting right on
my bookcase near my
recliner seat...

and
will this little sprout also
grow and bloom??
↡↡↡
I will be watching...

***************************I 
I went to my early {8:15}
mammogram this 
morning...
👵🙀😷

Our skies were brilliant reds, oranges, 
and even lavenders on the
drive there...

and..
luckily, a chair was available
so I could
sit in between pictures...

***************************
Tonight will be an easy meal:
grilled hot dogs and
potato puffs with 
pan fried onions as
the hot dog topping.

***************************
I am going to try to wind off some
fingering weight sock yarn later
on and cast on for a pair of socks...

We'll see how much I remember
as I haven't knitted in
 quite a few years...

SUNDAY SELECTIONS

                     Side borders are sewn on Stone Soup
            Now to decide on top and bottom; I was thinking of:

                            
                         This lovely rich print...to pick up the purples....
                              and sort of anchor it all together...

**********************************************

                  My Snowballs are amassing...slowly but steadily....
                             I have 6 more blocks set up:
Here:
                       All ready to be trimmed and sewn into blocks...

I am running out of little corners..
but I think that rows of 4 wide by 6 long 
will be big enough with borders ...we shall see...
👀
AND
speaking of "seeing":

I am told by my eye Doctor that I have eye issues that are going to be 
resolved by some laser surgery in late March and early April--in office
and "not a big deal", 
so they say....;0000

In the meantime, my vision has really taken a beating--
my eyesight is like looking
through a dirty car window right now..ugh..

so I am trying to limit my reading, sewing, postings, crosswords--
all the things I L O V E to do , etc etc
what a.................................... 
                                              BIG DRAG!!! ;((((

*******************************

A N D .........on a brighter note 👀
My Red Surprise amaryllis is throwing up an entirely new set of 
shoots after its prodigious first blooming ;))) 

Will there be a flower in there?  

Anxiously awaiting while  coddling her along....
**************************************************

My posts may become more infrequent until my issue is taken care of...
be assured that I will be following your postings, a few at a time, 
each day...
