I could choose a well behaved photo of the plants on the South facing window sill, but this one speaks the truth of the blinding low afternoon sunlight that only hangs around for a few days in mid winter. This is the only this time of year I get prism rainbow flashes in my kitchen.
These Christmas cactus and the narcissus, also show us of the dark earth they come from, while another old cactus has cracked open its pot in his urge to grow. Day 2 of the New Year brings messages of growth, and dare I say, hope?
