Looking Tastefully?

Sometimes you just don't care if you look ridiculous.  When the temperature falls to minus 40 degrees with the wind chill and my French Bulldog Pipi needs to take care of business, she is not bothered by what she looks like or who sees her.  I have decided to stay indoors during this recent arctic blast and have become very creative with what I am finding in my refrigerator.  One thing that is helpful during our harsh Minnesota winters is to have fresh flowers in the house.  In addition to the bouquets of flowers I am always bringing home, I have amaryllis bulbs blooming.

I like white amaryllis against the strong orange walls of my sun room.

Last February it was warm enough in Paris for the florists to display their amaryllis outdoors on the sidewalk!  Not possible here in Minnesota.
