My “monster” cactus which we hung up in my den has three buds. It does not tolerate the cold too well so we had to bring it inside the house. I have been watching the daily growth of these three buds. The cactus has five inch wide pink flowers and tentacles several feet long. Each day the buds are a little bigger. I was amazed we did not break any tentacles gently transporting it. We have had the plant for at least two years.

I looked high and low but I could not spot any more robins. Every stretch of lawn I looked up and down but no more robins. I almost doubted the bird I saw yesterday was a robin but I recognized its distinctive hop. Maybe, it was one that did not migrate–not all do. It was a warm day today. Three different colored primrose were blooming–each flower contained a yellow star. There were pink, white and a multitude of yellow flowers. The purple crocus we transplanted a week ago were all blooming. It was sunny and then it rained. Spring was on the horizon.
