Last week’s tantalizing warmth faded quickly, replaced by rainy days that felt colder than they were thanks to the damp. Outdoors, the earth is slowly beginning its Spring emergence. Inside, the amaryllis is growing taller every day.
The stem has swollen with the flower that will eventually emerge at the end of the stalk. I turn the plant toward the sunlight outside and each day I watch for changes. The plant is a promise of more warmth to come, a reminder that Winter’s scarves, sweaters, and coats won’t last forever. This week, as I long for the ease of warmer days, that’s a most-welcome reminder.
