I've been cactus slumming for a week or so, and bought a gazillion seeds mail order. I am insane!

Otherwise, it is cold, wet and overcast here and everything still blooming outside is hanging on by their buds. All the fuchsia are still putting out their colors, like the pictured Red Spider, even though we had temps drop to 39 degrees (which I wasn't expecting). We haven't had a frost, yet, but all the trees are going naked and raking the yard is a necessity a couple times a week...like all afternoon yesterday!
