Blooming Catcus

 

It's not only the blooms on the catcus that attract me...

but it just amazes me how the flower pops out of a green bud!

And turns into a beautiful flower...

 Complete with little 'gold flecks on the ends'

 When I look at this....I can't help but believe!!

 “Ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” (NIV) Job 12:7-10

1. I started working on a t-shirt quilt using hubby's old t-shirts.... hubby really wanted to help...I wonder if I'm the only one who has a hubby who enjoys doing this sort of thing?

2. The weather here has been in the mid 30's........ almost perfect!!! We don't get many days like this back in Alberta!
