This is Mom and Dad's Christmas Cactus in full blooom. I counted over 40 buds and blossoms. They have had it for over a year but it had not bloomed before.
Dad took it into the den and coddled it, putting it in the sunny window all winter, and probably talking to it too!.
I guess it worked.
We had a quick trip to visit them. I made a big pot of soup and for dessert we had Hot Cross Buns. All yummy!
This afternoon we took Mom out for a short drive looking for Pussy willows. we did see some but they were either on trees standing in water or snow. So we shall try again and get a bouquet of them.
I know a little pussy.
Her coat is soft and grey.
She lives down in the valley
not so very far away
She'll alwaya be a pussy.
She'll never be a cat...
'Cause she's a pussy willow.
Now what do you think of that!
Mom learned that when she was a little girl and I have also known it forever.
Another rerminder of spring.
