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!

Those paperwhites are lovely. I wish I could have live plants/flowers in the house, but my cats would eat them! Thank you for hosting and enjoy your weekend!
I always think I'm going to plant paper whites and never do, yours sure are pretty. I cant believe it's so cold in California. I lived in southern California for five years, loved the weather. Have fun skiing and as always thanks for hosting.
Thanks so much for hosting! Hope you have a great week!
Blessings,

Thank you so much for hosting! Have a great week end...hugs, Penny
Have fun skiing in Lake Tahoe, Cindy--it sounds like fun! And your cold weather is like our warm weather here today--I got out in the sunshine, took some pictures, and just enjoyed it. Thank you for hosting the party, and your paperwhites are really pretty.
Love paperwhites. My mother use to force them when I was young.

Thanks so much for hosting! Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Cindy...your paperwhites are beautiful! I love how you have them potted and gracing your dining table. Mine lasted an really long time this year....standing straight and tall. In fact...they are still standing, though the blossoms are looking a bit transparent. They are in my sunroom and looking at them through the glass door in the house they look great. Who knew?!
Enjoy your time away.
Blessings!

Beautiful flowers...spring will come soon for you! How are your patio/garden pansies doing during this cold snap? I live in Minnesota so I am used to the cold temps! Thanks for sharing....
My paperwhites never quite make it for Christmas either and always show up in New Year! Thank you for hosting!

Love the paperwhites..I have a very limited area where I can have live things and my cat can't get at them..
Just wanted to say how lovely your chandelier is. I love the pear shaped drops. Going to look for a similar one for my dining room. On the other topic of the cold weather, we walked to school in 15 below zero weather every winter -- parents didn't drive their kids. I hate the cold but it taught me very valuable lessons while trudging through the ice and snow for months in below zero weather.
Thank you for hosting!
Thanks for hostessing this great blog party. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Cindy, I love Paperwhites too! I planted mine the weekend after Thanksgiving and they are just coming to an end. They lasted really long this year. I cut off the spent blooms and there were a few hidden buds. Have fun skiing and thanks for hosting. We have been in the low 20's and teens here in UT. Way too cold for this old gal!
Hugs,

It's been so cold further up north too! We had snow in December and it's still all over! I can't wait for spring! I haven't been skiing since I had my little girl either and she's 20 now! It's hard to believe because I grew up skiing at least once a year. I hope you have fun but son't get too cold! Thanks so much for hosting, I hope you have a chance to stop by my blog and see some of my new paintings.
