Yesterday morning I walked into the kitchen and found stuff happening\u2026in the pot of Christmas bulbs.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Something, or things, were on a mission to destroy the only amaryllis in bloom.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Off to one side, a bearded guy with goggles was attempting funny stuff with a narcisi. He\u2019d already torn a protective leaf off the top.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To the left, the guy on the stem knows nothing about ladder safety\u2026like holding on tightly. And why is he trying to kick the guy below him who\u2019s keeping the ladder steady???<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Over here, a muscle-bound lout is trying to dig up a bulb. That shiny, pink, over-sized stone at the top, holds the whole thing together.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It may be a stretch, but that stone and the Apple Blossom coloured amaryllis share the same hue of pink. So you see, there is a point to this little story.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
