Good morning. I like the cactus art very much. The music is some of my favorite. Best to dance to. Have a wonderful day.

I just love your cactus drawing, Gillena! And yes, I too have many encounters with cacti, including some that have prickles that JUMP into your skin when you are near and not even touching them! Your drawing really captures their beauty, however! Happy to start this new year with you and all your gifts! Thank you!
