Hello and welcome. When the sun isn't shining and
☀Sunlit Sunday is fast approaching, you point the camera at something pretty anyway. This amaryllis is adding some zip to my living room and I'm glad about that.
Even on the greyest day, there is bound to be something to brighten things up. You know how it is; the more you look, the more you see.
Now, Purl (my foster cat) knows all about appreciating the creature comforts of life and finding sunny moments. I've been noticing her absence today. Last night, she started an Extended Visit with a nice couple considering adopting her. The wonderful thing about an EV is that people have a chance to see if the cat or dog that interests them is a good fit. An EV happens only after an application, interview and so forth. I'll have to wait and see what happens! Patience is not always my strong suit. Whether or not an adoption results, it was a bright spot knowing that Purl was
finally getting some serious attention. After all, she comes with almost 7 years of cat experience!
Your turn. What brightened up your week?
All are welcome to participate.
Your beautiful red Amaryllis brings a ray of sunshine into your home Karen.
ReplyDeleteI very rarely buy red flowers in Winter but after seeing yours I've made a mental note to seek them out once Winter reappears over here. In our current heat wave it's hard to imagine it will ever get cold again!
Oh Purl, I'm sure you have touched the peoples hearts during your extended visit - who wouldn't be touched by your grace and beauty!
I know you will be missing Purl Karen, but there's sure to be another sweet kitty waiting in the wings, to take her place!
On behalf of all the homeless and rescue cats - thank you for the caring work you do.

So pretty. And I also feel your pain about your kitty---I hope whatever happens brings you peace.

Hello Karen, your amaryllis looks gorgeous and so does Purl. I hope life will go well for her.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting Sunlit Sunday! This week we had some sunny moments to capture, even though the sun still is low in the sky.
Have a lovely week ahead!
Hoping all works out for Pearl. You do such an amazing job Karen. Sending love x
ReplyDeleteThe amaryllis is marvellous and a splash of color and I hope, Purl finds a cozy nice home with lovely people.
ReplyDeleteHave a sunny sunday
I hope that the visit goes well for Purl, and that they fall in love with her, after all she is a beautiful kitty! Your amaryllis is beautiful, and your photos of it are amazing!!! Thank you once again for hosting this and encouraging us to look for sunlight in life. You bring sunlight to mine! xx
ReplyDeleteI've found you through Amy at Love Made My Home. I love Purl's name - I hope she finds the home she deserves! You are doing something that is so incredible...I don't know if I could let a cat into my home and have to say goodbye to her again <3
ReplyDeleteI do hope that things work out for Purl. The sun is trying hard to come out this morning, but the temperatures are rising above zero and rain is predicted for this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the amaryllis. I have one in my kitchen, and when it blooms is the same colour as yours. I didn't deal with it properly this past year and there is no bloom for me. Best of luck to Purl. I hope she has a very sunny spot in her new home too, because of course they'll adopt her ;) Happy Sunlit Sunday!
ReplyDeleteLove your amaryllis. I didn't get one for the holidays this year and I miss them. I hope Purl has found her fur-ever home and it's sunny! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteHoping that Purl's EV is uneventful and stress free for her and the prospects, I can fully understand how and why she is missed!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteAll so pretty ! Hope all works out well for Purl . It is warm here and raining with just the odd bit of snow here and there now the sun came out for a bit this weekend but not for long . Oh I better hurry up and post for Sunlit Sunday I have been busy today lol ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good week !
ReplyDeleteLovely. Hope the adoption works out. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeletePerl looks so much like our Sloan... so glad that to hear that she could be getting her forever home!! Not sure I could foster... I'd want to keep them all
ReplyDeleteLove the bright red petals to brighten the gray days.
ReplyDeleteWell, here's hoping that Purl finds a wonderful Forever Home! She is such a beautiful girl!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous amaryllis photo! I'm glad Purl is settling in and hopefully will find a new home there. I'm sorry I haven't joined your party but I've just not the time to visit around to the participants. Have a good rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a beautiful photo. I'm sorry I didn't include the source. I've used it for years here on my blog. I actually bought it at a source for Christian websites and churches etc. My husband pastors a small church. I've used this photo for my blog header for years. Thanks for your fun party. I'll be by Sunday to link again.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
