November

I have, for as long as I can remember, bought an amaryllis-bulb (or two or three lol) so that we have gorgeous flowers in full bloom by Christmas. 

A few weeks ago, I planted this red beauty but it is already starting to bloom. Oh dear. Might need to buy another one so we still have a lovely flower blooming at Xmas. 

Can’t believe it’s already November but it’s so very dark outside. We are only a few weeks away from Xmas lights and maybe snow. Then it will all turn around and things will be brighter. One year ago we were about to get ready to leave to visit sunny California and my American extended family. Time flies. That was such a great visit.
