a cactus update

Goof afternoon.
The weather has been perfect! Sunny, 80's and 1% humidity!  Lovin the desert!
Here's some giant cactus on the casino grounds that are starting to flower.....
You may have to click on the pics to see them better.
The tall thing to the left of the light post, on the other side of the driveway, is a century plant getting ready to bloom. I'll try to get a pic when it does. And you can see barriers across the drives to keep people away from the casino while it is closed. Though I've read they may start to reopen some of the casino's  June 1st.
And, another puzzle......
A neighbor gave me this tiny cactus some weeks ago. It was dug up and laying in a bucket with some smaller ones. I had a small spot, so I took them and stuck them in the ground.
Well, despite being ripped out of the ground, laying loose rooted in a bucket, It must be doing okay because it's getting ready to bloom!
The cactus is only about 5 inches across. And it looks like the flower might be bigger than the cactus!
Can't wait to see!
We haven't ventured out to a restaurant yet. Guess we're waiting for them to get their protocols ironed out. So other than my walk in the morning's, and an occasional trip to a store once or twice a week, we've been pretty much home. And it's been just fine.  I've actually got some stuff done.I've been putting off. Went through my file cabinets, and threw out old papers, and reorganized things.
Got our new phones figured out, and really like them! Got our new cases for them yesterday. I'm also getting more used to ordering stuff online. I'm finding that a lot of what I buy, I can get cheaper online, even with shipping, which most of the time is free. Aspirin, supplements, cleaning stuff, face cream. Really, a lot of it is cheaper online! I may end up not going out, except for groceries, and to eat once and a while!
And that's it for today!

  1. A century plant. Wow. 🙂
    The cacti are pretty, too!
    A lot of stuff is cheaper. I like online because I can get stuff I can't find here.
    Our casinos here have all been reopening the last few days, with social distancing and extra cleaning and whatnot.
    Enjoy your nice weather!
