Happy Holidays

I am a very lazy blogger.
I have a few lame excuses ready.
  1. I had eye surgery. It went very well & I can now see out of both eyes.

  2. I went on vacation. Had a wonderful time in Nashville. Saw the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman 3 times! Visited the Country Music Hall of Fame, Cheekwood Gardens, Dickel Distillery, Opryland Resort, Ai Nashville, the Hermitage, and only got really lost twice.

  3. Family visiting from Wisconsin. Okay, its only one person , my brother. But he is family.

  4. Finally, I forgot.

I do want to post some holiday cheer. I have had a Christmas cactus for about 8 years. It is a huge plant. Nearly every year the blooms have changed color from the previous year. It has been red, bight pink, striped, and white. This year I made a point of snapping a few picture as the blossoms developed. So here are the results;

Steady:


Bloom:


Best wishes to one and all.
P.S. Happy Boxing Day to my knitting friend in Wales.
