Six Blooms at Once

It's unusual for all the blooms to be open and perfect at the same time. Normally the blooms open one or two at a time, and by the time the first is fading, the last is only just appearing. Not this one!

There's a third amaryllis bulb waiting in the wings, and a second flower stalk inching upwards on the first amaryllis bulb.

In other news: well, there isn't much fiber work going on. That's because on Tuesday I had a procedure called a Trans Esophageal Echocardiogram. All the online literature I've read seriously overestimates the grace and aplomb with which patients tolerate the procedure. I still feel wobbly  from the sedative (propofol, Michael Jackson's drug of choice) and can't swallow anything except slightly thickened liquids in very small sips. It's a good way to diet, right?

I'll be back online as soon as I feel well enough to weave. Promise.
