Thank You, Santa!

In Rockport, Santa comes to town twice.  He comes once, by lobster boat in early December, to help light the town Christmas Tree.  He comes back Christmas morning, after a very long night, so that the town’s children can say “thank you” for bringing Christmas into their homes.

HOLIDAY BLOOMS

The first of our amaryllis, planted about a month ago, are blooming, and just in time for the holidays! This variety is Amaryllis hippeastrum ‘Papillion,” and is one of the prettiest I think. ‘Papillion’ has three separate stalks, which means three bunches of flowerheads! amaryllis-hippeastrum-papillion-copyright-kim-smith
