Facile Friday - Flowers and Bifocals

A little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Let's start with a bloom in winter, well kind of winter.

Wisconsin really has not experienced what I would call "winter" so maybe it is not as cool as I think it is but.....

It is still pretty cool!

I got an amarylis for the holidays and after weeks of just kind of sitting there in it's pot, it suddenly shot up into a 3 foot high stalk and then, oh my!

I thought of candy canes!  Really BIG candy canes.

Now, I want to talk about crossing over.  Crossing over in terms of moving from adulthood to old age.  I have taken my first step up the ladder of old age by having to finally give in and get...gulp...reading glasses.  I ended up getting some progressive lenses (no-line bifocals) since I wear glasses everyday anyway.  It is great to be able to read small print easily again but I am not ready to get old or older yet.  So I tried what I am calling the diet drink ruse.  You know, where you go and get a greasy burger with extra cheese and cheddar fries then try and cancel it out by ordering a diet drink.

Here is what I did...

Those are NOT old lady bifocals!  That's what I'm talkin' about!  Take that old age!  Make me wear bifocals and I will make them too funky to identify me as old.  Besides, my 7 year old makes sure that I remember how old I am.  "Wow Mom!  you're such an old fart!"

Thanks honey, I love you too!
