Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

This is the first spring for my husband’s newly planted cactus garden. And apparently the cacti and succulents loved all the rain, because they are BLOOMING! Here’s a picture I recently posted on Facebook. The picture is public, but you do need to be logged in to Facebook to see it: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=10156906666161691&set=a.10151016316641691&type=3&theater<\/a>. <\/p>\n
