Flowers in bloom

Yay!! My Christmas cactus has finally bloomed. I would post a picture, but alas, none of our cameras currently have power. That and our digital camera had a little accident on our roadtrip last month involving barbecue sauce. Anyway... it's the pink variety and really lovely. This is a landmark for me because ninjaman and I got it at a garage sale over 2 years ago, before we were married, for free due to it's being near death. After much love and care, trial and error, and finding it a happy place in a window it has grown and blossomed. Perseverance, even when things look hopeless, eventually produces fruit or, in my case, flowers. That was just a little something that God showed me today.

Speaking of road trips, we had fun, and we took pictures.



It was beautiful where we were... Sunny and bright fall weather. The above picture was taken on our last day visiting my dad's vacation spot.

On the knitting front... you can't imagine that I would have gone a whole year since my last post and not knit anything... I present: finished socks (my first and only pair thus far), a lovely shawl (not a great picture I know), and a hat for the hubby (very poor picture, but it's on his head).








Among other things, but these I have pictures of. Hopefully I will have more at a later date.
