Quiet time for once

So today for the first time in as long as I can remember I actually had some much needed quiet time. By the way Chance, I guess this is for you since you are my only follower!! I am sure you understand what I mean about needing quiet time. Both Laney and Ava went down for a nap at the same time today!  I should be doing housework but it can wait. I hate housework anyway. A moment to myself. This is what I did with my time.

I have an obsession with Christmas cactus. Every year around this time they are sold for the Holidays. Every January they get dumped. I guess most people don't find a Christmas cactus very attractive. I do. Maybe a little too much! I usually rescue as many as I can from the grocery store before they end up in the garbage.

Every year I think about how much I love them while they are blooming. After the last flower falls I patiently wait a year until the beautiful blooms come back.

My beloved blooms came early this year!

They almost look prehistoric.

Next time you see one of these plants on sale for $1. Get one! They will bring you a lot of joy!
