Yesterday, it all came crashing down.

The solar stupidity is blinding. Here's what happened: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/solar-stup...

This holiday cactus is over 25 years old. It was passed down to me from my Mémère, and 12 years ago I drove it across country from Vermont to California. It blooms its heart out every fall/winter.
