Paperwhites - Show and Tell Friday

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!

I love paperwhites!

I usually start to force paperwhites right after Thanksgiving so I have them blooming during Christmas but this year the holidays just seemed to sneak up on me and so I didn't plant these until right after Christmas!

And they are already blooming!  I think it because it's been so cold here in California and the heater has been running non-stop!  It sort of forced them into bloom really quickly!

It's been down-right chilly here! Down to about 32 degrees during the night and the highs only make it to the low 50s! That's cold for California!  

I went hiking on Sunday afternoon and there were puddles on the trail that were frozen ice at 2:00pm!  I've never seen that before here...ever!!!  It's only snowed here twice in my life. The first time I was only a year old so I've only seen photos of my mom holding me in the snow. The second time was when I was 15. Every year since then I always hope that we will get snow again.  The way the weather is this year it may happen!  Although it's supposed to warm up and be in the mid 60s!  

I won't be here this weekend to feel that warmer weather though.  I'm going to Lake Tahoe to go skiing with my girlfriend!  I haven't been   skiing since I had kids...it's probably been about 28 years!  I used to be pretty good at it so I'm hoping it's like riding a bike and it all comes back to me!  I hope to share some photos next week!
