Christmas Here Too

Dad wanted me to share his flowers. If anyone needs bulbs....

Wolf Moon

I understand the January moon is the closest to the earth; its at perigee-- 221,577 miles from the Earth. At least that's what Dad's i-touch told me. ;-) I believe it. Thanks to the i-touch I can sound almost as smart as my kids!
Took this shot a few minutes ago. The other night I went for wood and it was light enough to read a book out by the barn--moonlight.

Christmas on my table

I hear many people complain that they can't ever get their christmas cactus to bloom. I have had no such trouble. The first bloom was at the padre's house before we moved. Then it seemed to celebrate the new home with us and bloomed during the end of december. I was happy with the flowers and how healthy the plant was even though it was sitting by the coldest part of our house. Now it is blooming again. I really don't know why. Maybe it is dying and trying to create as many offspring as it can before it passes away. (Kind of like the summer with all the maple seeds) Maybe Dad is right and it likes staying 56 degrees all day long? I just thought you should see it because it doesn't seem normal. They certainly are some of my favorite flowers though.

Happy Birthday Reuben!
