Love the sun peeking over the mountain. At my house, I've been lately noticing that the sun no longer peeks over the mountain directly behind the big hemlock, like it has most of the winter, but a bit to the left...
Thanks for identifying the mystery bird on my blog yesterday! I looked it up, and I believe you're right. "House finch"...what a plain jane name for such a pretty bird. I was just sure I'd spotted the rare red-crested plumed pine warbler or something similarly exotic!
I'm watching that amaryllis with interest because of my own in England. Since I can't see it at all at the moment, I am pretending that it is yours and watching it that way. It's growing well! Have a great Sunday.
So far, there's not enough light coming through my window to fool my amaryllis. My dieffenbachia "dumb cane" (that likes partial sun) is dropping its leaves. I'm even thinking about buying one of those full spectrum lights to keep MY body parts can stop drooping!
I must have been dipping into the cider when I wrote that last comment. My body parts, while drooping, might enjoy a full-spectrum light. If it does, I'll let everyone know.

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.
There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Have a great Sunday.
that green shoot makes me warm...come on spring...
Oooh, love the tones on that last image. And your amaryllis looks perky.
Thank you.
But I can hear the bulb growing...
Oh, that last picture! It just draws you.
Such peaceful bliss for a Sunday.

Ahhh. A moment of calm in the storm around me. Thank you.
No words necessary here.
