Life cycles of plants and Farmers Markets

Today I went to the Oregon City Farmers Market : Winter Location, you can read more about it here. But it was fun and made me think of this Spring and being able to focus my energy on planting seeds that will grow into hopefully edible and delicious food to eat. Right now, I will stay content with my Christmas Cactus which seems to be at the end of its blooming cycle and is looking a tad bit sad. I think I need to remind myself that this is a natural plant phase and that it most likely is not going to just completely die on me. I would be really sad if it did though! Those are my thoughts from now, and the beginning of my attempt to post at least once a week. I can't wait to have more interesting and productive things to share!

Proud Owner of a New cactus; of the Christmas Cacti

That's right, who's the proud new owner of a Christmas cactus? This girl! 

David and I took a trip to IKEA and they have cacti there, and it's usually where I get mine. So basically I got to thinking about restarting my collection and ignited some primal need to own/grow plants. This whole paragraph is pretty much pointless except to inform why I decided I needed one, other than the fact that Fred Meyers had them for a good price while I was picking up a few important things. Also, I'm still debating if I'll be taking David to IKEA again if it is just to window shop because he isn't very good at it!   =]

Anyways, I spent a decent amount of time deciding which one I liked best, weighing color, bloomage, and health selections. This is the one I came home with and it has a happy little home on the window sill that it seems to be enjoying quite a bit. I believe these pictures were taken the day I bought it and it has bloomed quite a bit more since then. Shame on me for not bragging to the world sooner about my plant, but I was feeling lazy. 

I am also quite happy that the cat's have not decided that it is a toy or food and hope that it stays safe from those cute little bastards. That is all!
