I haven't posted for a while. Nothing much to share. Snow has come and gone a few times. We got about 6 inches about a week ago. The weather warmed up a day or two later and most of it melted. Even though it really hasn't been a bad Winter, I am so ready for Spring!
Spring sure is taking its time though. There are groups of daffodil tips popping up all over, but it's been either too wet or a bit too cold to do some real yard clean up yet.
I'm not one for lots of houseplants, I tend to kill them! LOL I have to say though, my Thanksgiving Cactus & my Amaryllis plants did well during the holidays. I bought my cactus about 3 years ago and it actually thrives and gets larger each year and flowers beautifully!
This year I had bought 2 Amaryllis plants (rooted in pots with green growth and flower buds) before Christmas and they bloomed beautifully! Unfortunately, I have never had luck in getting Amaryllis to bloom the following year. The plants are doing well so far (new green leaves) so this year I think I'm going to plant them in my garden for the Summer. In early Fall, I'll dig them up and store them in dark place for a few months and then try getting them to bloom again during the Winter. If it works, great. If not, I'll buy new budding plants next year!
Healthwise, I'm doing OK these past few months. I had spent 5 days in the hospital the week after this past Christmas. I had Diverticulitis, Colitis, and C-Diff. It wasn't a fun time. I lost about 20 pounds. It took me quite a while to get my Energy and my Appetite back. I still feel somewhat fatigued, but I'm eating healthy, and I make sure I do some walking every day. I'm also taking a probiotic every day and I just started taking a B-Complex vitamin supplement. I have a follow-up appointment with my GP this coming Thursday just to go over things. I'm currently looking for a new Gastroenterologist, too. Not too happy with the doctor I had.
Well, that's the scoop for now. As always I've posted some photos you might enjoy! The first day of Spring is less than a week away! Yay!!
