Signs of Valentine's Day Are All Over the Place

This is it, the month of love.

Love, however, really should be celebrated every day throughout the year.

Still, the cards, flowers, and candies given for Valentine's Day are nice.

They give a pick up of spirits in times when that is desperately needed.

This week, there was a wonderful surprise,  in advance of the special day.

Amaryllis had been put at the back of a buffet, with hopes to save her bulb when time permitted. 

She had generously given two long stalks with five bright, red flowers each but they had long gone by.

Yesterday, when arranging the buffet top, something rising above the photo frames caught my attention.

Amaryllis had shot up another stalk with a fat soon-to-be flower on top and yet another smaller stalk that will come up in the near future!

What a mighty little flowering plant amaryllis has turned out to be.

She joined Christmas cactus and hyacinth, perhaps her cousins, on the little kitchen table.

That was the thrilling and unexpected Valentine surprise of the day!

WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DO YOU LIKE TO DO FOR VALENTINE'S DAY REMEMBRANCES?
