I feel a little blah in January. Colorado's weather has been quite mild this winter. No plant killing vortex here. I actually enjoy snow storms. What I struggle with is the brownness. I am over how the (now crumpled) dried maiden grass looks in the landscape and I just want a hopeful sign of green things to come. Forcing flower bulbs makes me happy. I like heady fragrance of paper whites and they look like spring to me. Did you know they're a type of daffodil?
The one pesky problem that has happened to me lately is that they get floppy and sloppy. I just learned about a new trick. All you need is a little tequila or whatever is in your liquor cabinet. I plan to try out on my next batch starting this weekend.
I guess the narcissus also attracts cats? This is Ginger. It's an old photo of a sunny window at our much loved past residence. There was copious amounts of sun and Ginger loved to co-mingle with the plants. Now I have a challenge in that most of our house's windows face east.
