this morning I took out the garbage and recycling… wasn’t sure if I would be able to get them out to the back lane because the pond guys had over seeded a good portion of the area and I didn’t want to drive the bins through the dirt, or soil as my mom would say…

then I discover that it has rained/snowed overnight and the lids are frozen shut… took quite an effort to get them open…

once I got back inside I took a few pictures of the cactus as it was blooming… very interesting because it looks very miserable… can’t decide if it is over- or under- watered…

nice to start the day enjoying a few moments with flowers…
