The weather has been so beautiful this last week, and just think, we'll be heading into a snowstorm aftermath in a few days. I have Amaryllis and Paper Whites in my windowsill on the verge of bursting into a fragrant bliss. The Chinese Orchid tree has a few flowers starting, the Kalanchoe is about to open and my Violas have been multiplying daily. It will be a shame if I miss everything while I'm up in the North Pole. I have some Monstera that I'm going to try to smuggle in my suitcase, hopefully it will ripen in time to share with the family.
I'm looking forward to spending Christmas in Ottawa. We won't be torn between visiting with 2+ families and it won't have that "Christmas in Florida" weirdness about it. We'll be able to relax and enjoy time with a few special people. I have a big bag of Shweaty Balls in the freezer that I made for the trip! Ha! I just hope getting there will be a breeze and I also hope my mother-in-law remembers to bring my winter coat.
