From Bud to Blossom and Flower of the Day
The interval between the fullness of a bud and the opening of the blossom is a time for the season. The Christmas cactus continues to bloom and our time is cactus time!
As I watch the changing cactus, I realize that before there were clocks, there was the growth of the soil, the height of the corn, the flowing, and drying of waters. The movement of sun and moon as the seasons change.
This is all around us. Every breath we take is a tiny piece of our life.

It still has more unopened buds, so I hope!! It has never lasted this long before, either.

Before we had clocks, we had crops. And in the darkness of winter, they tell the time better than the clocks to. You can turn the buds forward or back to suit your convenience 😀

It’s fun combining challenges with Becky’s square. It often times gives me ideas what to post for her square challenge.

I figured I’d get VERY tired of clocks, so I had to start rethinking time and what it means 🙂 It’s quite creative, actually.
