Petals in January!
My rather pathetic looking Christmas cactus is blooming,
I wondered if it ever would.
I wondered if it ever would.
It is quite an elaborate flower, actually.
It is enough to lift my spirits at least until February!

Love the color of these petals!
Even thistles can be beautiful!

Looking out over the cornfield next to our house- reminding me of God's faithfulness.
View from our tent on canoe trip a couple summers ago- it just doesn't get any better than this!

Ohh, very pretty! Thanks for sharing. Anything blooming at this time of year deserves a round of applause. :o) Or, at least a post on your blog. Love it.
Cool! I have some pansy and viola seedlings up and growing now. It feels good to be nurturing something green again!
