A Little **squee**

Just sharing a little *squee* I got this morning, on the heels of a groan. Something knocked a couple of my plants off the porchrail, either last night or this morning. I was heartbroken. But I got the plants repotted. I'm out of potting soil so I was robbing older pots for soil. I have several pots of Christmas Cactus, and a few months ago one of the cacti lost a leaf so I put it in soil to see about generated a new plant. I thought the leaf had died but I pulled it from the soil to use that soil for my fallen plants and lo and behold it had good fresh roots! So from one tiny leaf another Christmas cactus will come! In time ;)
