Anticipation
Mammillaria decipiens ssp. camptotricha
Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle ... a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream.
Hallo Aiyana, I am - which concerns the language - exactly the same as you: my english is very bad too. ;-) Therefore I can't comment very good in your language, but I see, that you love Kakteen (I don't know the english word for that. *smile* Nice foto in this post. Greetings - Ulrike
Your climate is just about as different from mine as possible, but I LOVE visiting and learning more about life in Arizona. I hope to make it to the desert one day to see the wildflowers bloom.
That mammillaria is gorgeous! I perect wintery looking photo! Greetings to your husband! Tell him Julie in South Florida sends him well wishes! I adore cacti with the long needles...this one is outstanding!
Hi Julie, My husband is finally home as of yesterday. He did have another setback after the GI bleed. He had a minor heart attack, probably caused by the 11 units of blood he received, but no permanent damage occured. All is going well for now--he's still very weak, but so glad to be home. Thanks for your greeting--he will appreciate it!
I love this photo, what a neat plant! And the thought in that quote is so true and meaningful!
I have "dream bulbs" in planters on my south window right now that are popping to life. Even some herb seeds are sprouting already...and it's 15° outdoors here.

Very wise words and so true!
BTW our Spring does begin in April too. We just have sometimes days that look like Spring!
Have a nice day!

I love that last phrase, And the anticipation nurturs our dream. ...except if one is behind in one's chores...

Your quotation is a wonderful one - so true how anticipation nurtures our dream.
I am glad to hear that your husband is back home. He'll probably recuperate much faster too!
