I've never seen a flowering cactus. I wonder why their flowers don't stay that long. I've missed reading your blog! I'm catching up on all my faves.

We recently had our microwave fixed, took them 2 weeks to get the right parts and get the repair man out here to do the job.

These are the same people that provide this lousy WIFI service I have right now....that they charge $10 a month for. They don't seem to be in any hurry to finish the tower and provide the service, as they have done nothing with it in the week we've been here.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-13870659442477521502009-10-26T20:27:17.244-07:002009-10-26T20:27:17.244-07:00Stefaneener, I find I appreciate those cactus blos...Stefaneener, I find I appreciate those cactus blossoms more than my long bloomers! Long bloomers....that sounds like something a granny might wear, LOL!<br /><br />********<br />KitsapFG, I've actually had a few of those water-heated-on-the-stove baths in the past week. Mr. H probably couldn't stand to sit by me if I didn't, after sweating out in the yard each day! It was a real luxury to wash the dishes with hot tap water tonight though.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-34162548535946405892009-10-26T20:26:23.929-07:002009-10-26T20:26:23.929-07:00That is a beautiful cactus bloom.

There's only so long you can do without some warm water!<br /><br />The cactus bloom is enchanting. It's amazing how the desert bloomers are so beautiful. I think they have to make up for their short flowering period by being extra "wow!" in quality.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-44380684757873709122009-10-26T19:52:34.287-07:002009-10-26T19:52:34.287-07:00Cactus flowers just don't last that long.

It always takes us a week or two to get everything under control, then it's easy living for the rest of the winter! My biggest problem this year will be the lack of a reliable internet connection, but that means I'll get more housework, gardening and visiting done ;-)Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-54579955307040033082009-10-26T18:56:30.296-07:002009-10-26T18:56:30.296-07:00Granny, that is an amazing bloom on that cacti!
