Beginning Anew

The merry year is born
Like the bright berry from the naked thorn.
~ Hartley Coleridge

No, they're not berries. They're buds!
The Christmas cactus is running a little late this year.
But the beautiful blossoms will be welcome when they arrive.
Like they always say, better late than never....
There's always time for a new beginning.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
