As noted in the last post, our physician son spent a week of vacation with us. We were delighted to have him here, and enjoyed every walk, every conversation, and every meal together. But we all (especially Mark) missed having his lovely wife here with him.
He was able to catch up on some much needed rest...
enjoy playing some video games...
and a bit of exploration around the town.
After a lovely supper together, we wandered around downtown and looked at some of the pumpkin decor that was set up for the upcoming Halloween block party.
We had a perfect last evening together and cherished each moment. The next morning we sent Mark on his way back east where he was reunited with his wife. Thanks for the visit Mark. Next time we see you, you will be a father!
It's getting to be "that time of year" again...and this year my Christmas cactus decided to start giving blossoms early again. This white cactus is in full bloom already.
I only hope that some of the blossoms are still there come Christmas. But if not, the pink cactus plant next to it is now covered with tiny floral buds and will soon be covered with pink flowers.
Two years ago, I trimmed back my 12 year old pink Christmas cactus plant, and on a whim just pushed several of the discarded stalks into this pot outside on the front porch. Last year, the plant had several flowers; look at it now! It has flourished this year and will be pink with color in the coming weeks.
I am so excited for the Christmas season!
God's blessings for the wonderful week to come!
