This amaryllis flower is one my favorite things in the garden. We were carefully watching it and waiting for it to bloom.

Special Occasions & Celebrations

There has been a lot happening since I last posted. I celebrated my 60th birthday and received lots of flowers, plants, and trees from my family and friends. We have been busy planting all the plants and trees in the garden.  There is a robin that made a nest in our gazebo. Shilpa climbed up to take a photo of the eggs and we have been seeing the robin sitting on them. We are excited for baby birds.  I have had lots of visitors.

Snow Day!!!

We had a snow day today! The last time we got snow was 2014, which was a disaster. Suresh got stuck at work overnight! This time, we all stayed home, and we enjoyed together. Even Sushma and her husband, Sal, stayed with us! It was pretty cold, but we still went outside for a little bit. Beautiful icicles on the gazebo! I really enjoyed knocking the icicles down! Sushma made me some ice antlers! But, they were too cold to keep for long. Some big ones from the gazebo roof! We also did some cooking today - we made dal curry with some greens from the backyard. And, we baked pecan bars , which turned out good. Cooking with snow in the background Our dahl curry Vegan pecan bars! I hope everyone stays safe and warm!
