Eye to Wonder

      I know I'm not alone in writing after a weekend of below freezing temperatures (when I check the weather app it was -7). Sometimes we get a little stir crazy when the weather dips like this given the limits on indoor activities right now. One thing that's making our house feel alive and joyful right now, even with all the time we are spending inside, is the amaryllis I planted at the end of the year.      Planting an amaryllis bulb was on my 21 for 21 list , and the first item I was able to check off! It's a small start up cost and effort, but then it's really easy to maintain. And even though it seems like kind of a random addition to my list, it's brought an unexpected amount of brightness to our kitchen and living room.      Ultimately, I think my love for the amaryllis plant and how happy it's made me this winter comes down to this: there's a beautiful symbolism of a plant that is able to grow and blossom during the coldest time of the year.
