The weather is getting nicer and the doors are open to visitors. Luckily we have a friend visiting who is watching out for us. She is so friendly but dont try to pick her up when she is on the prowl. Luckily we havent gotten any furry presents yet.

And her visit is now over. Back home she will go. No more purrrrrring sounds, playing with newspaper or cutting pieces.

No birds at the feeder this morning. Overnight we expected 6-8 inches of snow. Nothing at bedtime. Beautiful clean white snow in the morning. Schools are shut down. I just enjoy from my warm cozy chair. Good day to stay in and make cards. But what to make?

Ground hog day is feb 2. Not far away. Onto Valentines Day. Will this melt by then?

We went to the mile high city for thanksgiving to visit family. This is my husband sitting on the capital steps where it declares the spot that is on mile above sea level.

We had a wonderful experience going to museums, eating ethnic foods and traveling in the mountains.

I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving.

My husband did a little research on my holiday cactus. I have two blooming and they both have pointed leaf segments. There are several different variations. Sometimes my pink one blooms at Halloween and Easter.

Ive had it for over 20 years and just the past two has it have a growth spurt. Ive tried to propagate it through leaf cuttings but have not been successful.

The Mississippi region will soon be blazing with color. We spent the weekend in Spring Geeb Wisconsin, a favorite. Early fall destination for many special venues. Our main reason for the yearly migration is the American theatre and our favorite B & B.

The butterfly garden was in bloom, the chicken provide wonderful breakfast treats and the wildlife could be heard but not seen.

A restful week end getaway.
