8. I moved to a new home last Oct. and am thrilled at all the new unknown plants that are growing here.

They are little everyday miracles to me! Unbeknownst to me when we bought the house, we have big beds of Amaryllis (3 kinds) and Day Lillies - 2 kinds so far but the first flower just opened of the small red variety. I have much larger ones that I believe will have yellow or orangish flowers but don't know yet. There are also 3 plants that I believe are gardenias that have buds and some that I think might be chrysanthemums but waiting for them to bloom to know for sure.

Taking joy from wherever you can find it is the way to go and enriches the soul! This is so needed during these externally dark and darkening days.
