On this lovely last day of February
the clothes were hanging on the line picking up sun and breezes for a great
fresh air smell when we slip our feet into bed. Something refreshing to look
forward to! The ground was a bit wet under the clothes line, but I tried to
step on grass and not soil as I went up and down the area. Because it is in
deep shade under the trees and there had been a camper parked there the soil is
exposed in some places. At least most of the water was gone and my shoes did
not squish into the mud very much. The days of spring and summer are coming
with the promise of more outdoor time which lifts my spirit.
Another joy is the pink Christmas cactus
that is blooming once again. That is the third time this year. How this small
plant puts forth so much effort in beauty is quite fine. I counted 13 open
blooms with several more to come. Yesterday for the first time I saw that there
are a limited number of very small buds on the white cactus. This is the second
bloom session for it. I look forward to that beauty as well. I may have lost my
45 year old plant, but I am happy to welcome the smaller new ones into my space.
Does that mean that we should welcome change in our lives? The cacti are in the
bedroom so it is one of the first things that I see in the morning. What a
great way to wake up. My idea of poor is to have no house plants or green
growing things around me. That means I am rich beyond all wild dreams.
