Finally Celegrated Amherst's Postponed Halloween

Because of last week's storm, the long-lasting power-outage and the damage it created, we had our Halloween Trick or Treating last night. Boy it was a cold night.

This year wasn't 1/2 the celebration it's been in past years. Most of the houses didn't participate and a lot of the kids stayed home. We strolled the village with friends and their children and did it in no time at all.

Meredith's costume is hard to see, because her wings are behind her; she's dressed as a Jailbird. Laura's costume is a Japanese character from one of their favorite video games (don't ask me, I can't keep up and if I did -- I couldn't pronounce most the stuff anyway).


Until next time......

Isn't This Bruggie Flower Beautiful

Look at how far it's come, now. Isn't this flower beautiful? The fragrance is even better! There are at least two more tiny buds. I do hope it flowers all winter!

See THIS post for more information about my beautiful Brugmansia.

Angel Trumpet Flower

Hello again!
Check out this beautiful Angel Trumpet flower which is growing on my Brugmansia plant. I decided to keep the Brugmansia inside over the winter to see how much it grows and if it would flower. This bud was on the plant when I received the plant from my good friend. Since then, it's started two more buds (about an inch big, right now).

I am so excited to see it open and to smell the great fragrance. The bloom opens at night, so I'll be sure to check that room repeatedly, tonight.

Cannot believe we still have this much snow five days after the freak October 2011 snow storm!
