Christmas: December 2007 Archives

Christmas cactus begin to bloom.

This is the first time mine has bloomed. I have had it for three years. I gave up on it after last year. I plunked it into a pot, stuck it in a window and watered it when I remembered. No pampering or coddling. My reward for its neglect are those gorgeous pink and white blossoms.

I guess I am like Momma Walton in The Homecoming and long for flowers in the dead of winter.

I want a red velvet dress and pearls. Isn't she gorgeous?

I NEVER can make it through this song without tears.
