November 28: Green thumb

[neverspent]

My mom has many wonderful and nurturing qualities, but she does not have a "green thumb," as they say. If houseplants manage to stay alive under her watch, it's probably due mostly to their hardiness. But she has had a Christmas cactus for more than a year, and it looks like it's actually starting to bud now: tiny pink buttons on the ends of a few of the leaves. It's really lovely in the morning when the sun comes in through the picture window.
