I woke up this morning to a heavy cotton candy sort of fog.
But then the sun came out and melted away the fog and it actually felt warm. I wrangled my way out of work early so I could sweep the billions of maple tree whirlybird seeds off my porch and into the compost (where they will undoubtedly sprout) and washed the outside windows and doors.
Cross those chores off my list!
I also took a few photos for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, held on the 15th of each month by Carol of May Dream Gardens. There isn’t much blooming outside, but I do have some interesting looking
Seeds,
leaves
and a single Mum.
Luckily, I have my Christmas Cactus to save the day! They always bloom early, either on or just after Halloween.
Love the intensity of the colors in these photos. And, I really like the trees in the fog.
I walk by them every morning, but never really noticed them until I saw them in the fog. I think they look a little like cypress trees.
Oh, I like those foggy morning shots.
And your Christmas cacti are georgeous!
Beautiful colors! My Christmas cactus is a light pink.
Have a blessed day!
I have a light pink one too, but it’s not looking as good as my other two. The flowers are kind of limp.
I adore your seed photos–they are lovely! I’m determined to grow a Christmas cactus this year–yours is stunning! Happy GBBD!
Hi Julie, Christmas Cactus is a very easy plant to grow and difficult to kill off. I love mine.
Lovely pics…just love the Chasmanthium seed heads!
I love the way they rustle in the breeze.
