I like Thursdays

It was an eventful May 1st - my DS2's birthday - he turned 44 and it rained! First time I ever remember it raining that late in the rain season. Granted we only got 0.12 inches of rain, but to us in SoCal it was a lot!  Nicest thing I liked about it was that it was a gentle rain and let every drop soak in.  Thank you, Lord!

I also like what is happening in my garden. More blooms.
The amaryllis continue to bloom.

I love this gorgeous yellow on this flower. See those little puff of what looks like cotton - a flower will emerge from each.

One of our golden barrel cacti.  When the sun hits them just right, they seem to glow.
Last, but not least like for the week - I love how my Mod sampler looks over the fireplace.
It's the little things that give us joy.  Do check out LeeAnna's links to other joy.

Blessings,

    Hi Angie,
    I finally got a chance to visit your blog for this week's likes! Oh those cacti blooms - I just love seeing those. So beautiful out of such a prickly plant. And there's nothing better than a nice gentle rain - washes away all the yuck, gets a good chance to soak in. Thank you Lord!

    The quilt looks very good over the fireplace. Just right.
    I didn't realise the little cotton looking bits on a cactus is where the flower will come. Now I can keep looking/hoping for one on the cactus we keep for my son.

    We lived in Arizona for a time and I developed a healthy love for cacti - it always seems like a miracle when they bloom and such a contrast to the otherwise prickly character!!! Beautiful pictures!
