Today's Forecast: Highs in the mid 80's, bright sunshine, gentle breezes. Surfing conditions improve toward mid-morning... Enough already! That's about as far from MY forecast as a weatherman could get.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj69HFhh5RWKNA1_ba43jzfkgpyNLNq53UQppjY-tyG7uYIjmEOay-ZZRl-_mbQ34GLoLbLqty76-mPy6WfAoZ533iyllqZoopAzLlTU4c4opNVWEIFM9XGDYLKS1535TraKg1u/s400/amaryllis_red_window.jpg)

These days, nobody makes a move until they check in with the Weather Channel. I get all I need to know by looking out the window.
- It's winter.
- It's cold.
- It snowed again!

Instead of monitoring my own weather, I keep an eye on those lucky dogs who live in Hawaii.
I like to see the weather
where I wanna be.Sunny WindowsThis time of year, everybody needs a sunny window. It boosts your spirits like nobody's business.
Especially on days like this one, when the snow is blowing sideways due to a fierce north wind.

Dust off the martini shaker! Key Limes & Miniature Pomegranates are ripening in my sunny window.
Azaleas, Narcissus and Hyacinth fill the room with a lovely fragrance.
Pink sweetheart roses put on a sparkling show.

I'm just learning how to keep these gals happy indoors.
The pink mini roses are thrilled. The yellow ones are contemplating suicide. The red roses haven't a clue what to do.
Hyacinths are one of the easiest bulbs to force.
If you don't have a sunny window, carefully follow these steps to create one:
- Buy a growlight.
- Plug it in.
With any luck, the glare from your groovy new growlight can shield your eyes from what's happening in the garden, outdoors:

Red Amaryllis. I want.
Mini-pomegranate? How cool is that?? I will have to investigate...
Ha-cool! I just blogged about that. I am nurturing the orchid too! We don't have that much snow though.
