Amaryllis time and canceled trip

Greetings from my front yard where the Amaryllis bloom everywhere now.





I have a huge Aloe Vera plant in a pot outside (that needs to be set free) and it bloomed last year for the first time. Looks like it's going to bloom again this year too. I was sort of expecting a red blossom because that's the color they bloom in Laguna Beach, California, but it turned out to be yellow. Maybe it's a different variety or maybe it's the soil that determines the color - I don't know which.
I was going to drive my neighbor to Columbus (about 170 miles from here) where she goes to see her back doctor. However, the trip was canceled because she woke up with a fever and symptoms too sick to go. Maybe next week.


Gizzy and I went for a loooooong walk around the lake, because the weather is superb with a wonderful  breeze. I gave him a good brushing and a hair cut while we were sitting outside. He now looks even more handsome (if you can believe that) than before and once he gets his bath, I won't be able to stand it.






I need to have a fundraiser for his dental (that's $150, because he needs bloodwork too.) 
He looks so cute and when he opens his mouth to yawn, it's like getting hit in the face with a dead fish out of lake Irma...yuk! Maybe I'll hold a Raffle for an afghan, throw or baby blanket...what do you think? I've heard of people holding Raffles online where tickets get purchased through Pay Pal. I could use Random.org to chose the name of the winner. What do you think? Is that just too silly?
