Flower bulbs are a glorious being. They allow us to force them to grow indoors in the winter in "soil" that is not a normal, natural environment for them. As you can see, these Narcissus flowers bulbs are growing in decorative glass pebbles, not dirt. This allows us humans the chance to see their roots growing into the pebbles and their flower to form towards the light. It gives a perspective on every plant, tree, grass blade, and yes, weed in existence. Kind of like a mole's eye view of his neighborhood, if he could see...
I have forced these many times but, this blog is allowing me to chronicle life as it happens around here. The hope is to chronicle events, even as simple as forcing bulbs in winter.
The other photo is what is looks like right now, outside our window. It is not the snow of 5"-7" the forecasters predicted. No kidding. It is the "Dick the Bruiser" prediction: Take the professional meteorologists number and divide by 2. So, let's test it. 5/2=2.5 and 7/2=3.5. Wow, even Dick the Bruiser would have been wrong, we only got 1.5"-1.75". Oh well, Erica had less to shovel.
