Bloomin Cactus

 My Thanksgiving Cactuses are both blooming. The yellow one was first to open its buds then a few days later the white one followed suit.

 



 Ceiling fans get so dirty and this particular one is too high for me to reach  so I had help from Youngest Son.  


 We're dealing with lots of wind and heavy rainfall. This will continue on and off all the coming week.
Needless to say we didn't even try to go walking. The wind would have torn my umbrella and we would have come home soaked. It will be a quiet day.

I'm surprised how many of you have a sewing 'basket' similar to mine ( except in different colours).  I guess there was an era where they were common.
Likewise with the jewelry box with the twirling ballerina. Again many of you either had or still have one. 

That's it for today.

  2. Hi Marigold I know what you mean about those ceiling fans. Here in the south we have one in every room. The ceilings in our house were built unusually high so that in the summer the hot air will rise to the ceiling. Which is great in the summer, but it's hard to get the warm air back down in the winter . We kind of "freeze" or "fry". :)They are almost too high for my husband to reach. I love the little artist bird! Your cactus is so beautiful! I have never seen an orange one before. Is that the same variety as the red Christmas cactus? My mother used to love those. I hope you are having a beautiful Sunday! :)
