Wikipedia says there are about 1,500 to 1,800 species of cacti. They may be right. I am amazed at the variety of them I find while walking in my parents neighborhood. And, the shapes and colors are astounding. Even though this is not a big blooming time for them there are some with blossoms on them. My dad and I searched for identification of this cacti but we were not able to identify it. So, it’s just a cactus with a pretty flower.
I have been enjoying my time with my parents. Seems my pants are tighter around the waist. Shrinkage is either due to the dry climate down here or my mothers baking. Yesterday she baked cookies. I ate more than my share as I do not want to hurt her feelings. I head home on Saturday to face the cold again but also want to be home.

I don’t know much about cactus either, but I’m pretty sure that’s one of the kids that you wouldn’t want to sit on.
I’m having the same problem here with my clothes. I think it’s the dry weather and possibly the cookies that Kathy baked for Thanksgiving. It was my duty to finish them before they got stale. Mission accomplished! 😉

I’m pretty sure Kathy appreciates your dedication. Well done on the mission!
