They're Back

When I went out to put a birthday card for my brother-in-law into the mailbox, I looked down to see the happy sight of green daffodil sprouts uncovered by melting snow. They're nestled up to the edge of one of the mouse bait boxes and I hope that there aren't any sprouts under it.

 

More Christmas cactus flowers have bloomed. This is the one that grew sideways from the end of the leaf stem thingy.

 

Then I noticed the stamens of another flower hanging out from the center. You can see the dark, reddish purple of the pistil and the white stamens. At least I think that's what they're called. I like the delicacy of them.

 

For the first time in 2 weeks, I drew a gratitude journal page. I've been diligent about doing yoga every morning and can really feel the difference in my balance. And the sunshine and melting snow are welcome.

 

I almost wasn't able to blog tonight. I was at Friday Night Knitting and my internet went out. Nothing I did would make it come back so I had to call Spectrum to send a signal to restart it. It took about 5 minutes, five loooong minutes, but it's back. I confess I had a moment of panic when it wasn't coming back. Silly really, to be so dependent on it but I confess I am.

It got up to 55 degrees today and it's supposed to hit 60 tomorrow but only 38 on Sunday. I can't figure out the weather. Gotta finish this up. I have to be up really early to be in DePere for 8 o'clock to set up for the craft fair. Wish me luck.
