Sunny Saturday~

     My Christmas Cactus is in full bloom~. The plant is couple years old now.....a small one purchased at Home Depot a few years ago that has bloomed every year since.
     I absolutely love my indoor garden. It really boosts my spirits and makes me smile. This morning I watered all the plants and enjoyed the smell of fresh dirt that filled the room. As I take the time to groom and deadhead all the plants, I am transported back to summer. The sun feels warm as it streams through the window and energizes me.
     The plants do require a bit of work though. Several of the plants are older and getting root bound......needing to be re-potted.(not one of my favorite chores either) I need to buy some more potting soil, and I know if I venture into any store that sells plant, that I will come home with a few new ones!
     So as the outside world here in Michigan turns drab and brown, my indoor garden is alive with color and life!

Look at these sweet, tender blossoms above....just waiting to emerge!

Looking for rainbows.................

    This sweet little rainbow landed on floor of  my indoor garden last week. How cool is that?!!
I have several prisms hanging in my window and on sunny days the rainbows dance around my plants. I love rainbows.....they seem almost magical! Whenever I see one outside, I consider it to be good luck and make a wish!

    My next activity to help me enjoy winter is planting some bulbs in pots. I am very cheap and waiting for the bulbs to get marked down before I get started. I have several pots ready to go. I read that you just plant to bulbs in the soil and then put them in an unheated shed or garage for a few months (not exactly sure about the part....need to do more research). After the appropriate time, you can bring them in the house to enjoy, or if you wait until spring, put them on the porch outside. I plan on doing both, and eagerly anticipate daffodils, tulips and hyacinth blooming around me!
