Armarillus Flower

Here's a photo (taken today) for Friday's post.  It is a very beautiful plant. This one was given to a friend as a 'thank you'.  Apparently it grows from a bulb, and really likes sunlight. I'm gonna try growing one myself!

It was a very nice weekend. Friday, I went down to the city for a Doctor appointment.  I make the most of my appointment days.  They're almost like a nice vacation day. A full day to myself -- shopping, eating out, spending my day however I like.  (After the doctor appointment, that is.)  The drive in the winter storm was an adventure.  I'm a hearty Minnesotan!

Then, Saturday, we went snow tubing at Powder Ridge.  It was a great time. It was the first time I've ever gone tubing at an actually snow tubing park. The sun was shining, and the afternoon was warm.  We laughed a lot!  The rest of the weekend was spent at home, catching up on various things.

All-in-all, a great weekend!!!
