Our Euphorbia Pulcherrima is Still Alive!

Image
Christmas season + beautiful warm colors = a heart-warming combination! And our heart-warming, vivid-red Euphorbia Pulcherrima, which we have had since last Christmas,   is still alive!  (Yes, the  Euphorbia Pulcherrima is   also known as Poinsettia ¹ !)  Knowing that poinsettias require temperatures above 60  F (15.5  C) to survive (as they are originally from the regions of Mexico and Central America), we have given our poinsettia wheels! Poinsettia-on-wheels! What? On wheels?  — you might ask. Yes! Look at the pictures! And now that our poinsettia is on wheels, we can quickly and effortlessly move it to wherever the sun is shining. As poinsettias, we also need sunlight and warm hearts to survive and thrive. Thus, have a heart-warming, sunshine-filled Christmas! ¹   https://www.britannica.com/plant/poinsettia

Leaves

 Leaves...         ...falling...            (Winter calling)           Green... Yellow... Orange... Red... Brown...    Dry on the ground Dead leaves all around Blown with a northerly sound Inundated by reminiscences of yonder  I  contemplate and ponder Visions of death in a scene oh so somber! And I wonder w hat lies ahead for me... When all I see is sorrow Twirling past into tomorrow God only knows why! (Even if I cry) Nature changes for a reason Bringing in a new season Of (hopefully) hope, joy, wisdom If only we would choose to forgive Bury the past and forget Live and let live Love with no regret! Fallen Autumn leaves, Rest in peace Beneath Winter's (dormant) promises!
