A Spot of Brightness

It's very brown outside. The pretty leaves are gone. The green grass is fading. So, how delighted I was to be watering my plants the other day when I discovered that the window-facing side of my cactus plant was budding! What a beautiful spot of brightness in front of the view of the bleak world outside. This plant was from a very dear friend of mine who loves cacti and has them everywhere in her home. It's bright fuchsia color certainly makes for a cheery spot in my kitchen. Thank you, Linda, for the gorgeous spot of cheer.
