Snapshot: Outside and Inside

Snow Day. There is at least a foot of snow on that table.Here's a close-up of the cherry tree branches about a week after I brought them home from the Union Square Green Market.


13 days after we mashed the cut end of each branch with a hammer, we found it blooming when we came home from work. Note the red-tinged water in the vase, probably tannins. Here are two pictures, not even a week apart, of our exploding amaryllis bulb. Last winter it only put up leaves. We planted it in the ground over the summer and took it out of the ground last November. After drying in a bag for a couple months we potted it January 31.
