Simple pleasure

 

I feel like a new parent. And I'm becoming a bit obsessed with this simple little cactus. 

Two days open and the white frilly things have kind of shrunk up.

And another bud is opening...

I can't wait to see what happens with this multi-budded leaf.

But it's all about balance. The outside plants have died. So having one inside that's blooming, just pleases me no end. 

What's your simple pleasure these days?

Today's quote:

It seems that for success, in science or art, a dash of autism is essential. For success the necessary ingredients may be an ability to turn away from the everyday world, from the simple practical, an ability to rethink a subject with originality so as to create in new untrodden ways. -Hans Asperger, physician (1906-1980)
