Blossoms and Blizzards

I've been taking a picture of my amarylis each day.

Every day I come home to more color.

I'm hoping the first two flowers will last long enough that I'll have four blooms at once.

But if I draw back the curtain, I'm quickly reminded it IS still winter.  Yikes! 

Which would you rather look at? 

This is a shoulder height drift at my back door.  It snowed so heavily through the screen door, I had to remove it to open it.  Then I went out with a jacket over my PJs to shovel a path for my pooch to get outside!  

I think I'll close the curtain, and pretend I'm somewhere warm and wonderful :)
