Omg, I’ve ran into a few trying to get to my kitchen in the middle of the night. Usually my leg or arm, but never the bum. I hope your peach is better.

It is, thank you! Cactus can be cute and oh so dangerous.

Hope you're ok too!

My niece raises miniature cacti. They're cute but not so dangerous...

Adorable. Naive question, do the needles usually come that color or... how did she paint them pink?

That pic is from google but that's what some of her cacti look like. Her cacti aren't in little pots like in the pic. She has them in a terrarium. I don't think she paints them but I'll ask her next time I see her.

I have some succulents that are naturally bubblegum pink and vibrant purple, so maybe it’s natural.

We're not gardeners but, we thought we would share a bloom from our Magnolia trees out front.  The air smells magical when they're in bloom  :)

Started putting the ends of green onions, romaine lettuce, celery and carrots in water and letting them grow again.

A practical way to use what is on hand

I actually made a little garden today and planted some things. We'll see how it goes.
