Garden Blog Bloom Day

There isn't much blooming in my South Texas garden this winter.  But my Christmas cactus is a totally different story.  Here it is in its full glory!

If you go back to Christmas of 2009 when I first posted about this special plant, you can see how much it has grown in just a couple of years!  Very cool for me to see :)

Christmas Tree

Merry Christmas!

 

Like most everyone, I love my Christmas tree!  It's not fancy, nor is it perfectly decorated with a particular theme.  Its decorations are random and very simple.  I love my tree because on it hangs so many ornaments that my boys made for me while they were growing up.  And every year, it's a joy to take each ornament out of the Christmas ornament box and find a special place for it on my tree.

Decorating the tree is a heartwarming experience for me and I look forward to it every year.  This year was even more special because my sister and I decorated my tree together.  I celebrated another Christmas blessing of this past year...having my baby sister close by and part of my life again.  I truly believe that a sister is one of life's greatest blessings. 

 

I am so thankful for the many, many blessings in my life and I wish each of you a 

Blessed and Merry Christmas.
