Cactus Tragedy

Jakson decided in the summer
that he wanted some cactus.
He picked out some plants and
a bowl and has taken care
of them very responsibly.
Some of the cactus even
had some really great flowers
on them in August.
Well - he got a new plant
this past weekend and planted it
and was so excited about it.
Sunday he put it out on the
deck to get some sun because
it was actually nice outside.

Monday morning he was leaving
for school and said "Hey where's
my cactus?"  He forgot to
bring it in the house Sunday night
and it was frozen solid.  Kevin
said it will be fine - cactus live
in the desert and it always
gets really cold in the winter.
WRONG!
The poor thing is all squishy
and all the tall plants have
bent clear over.  Only
the one in the top
right corner might have
made it - not sure yet.
I'm sure there will be a trip
to Home Depot to start
a new cactus garden.
