Thankful Thursday

Thanks Sammy and Andy's Mom for my Christmas banner! Mom could never do anything like that herself. She is Photoshop Challenged.

It is too cold to go outside, and there is nothing new to report regarding my indoor gardening (except that the Christmas Cactuses have passed their prime and are dropping dead blossoms all over). So I am going to focus on a couple of things I am thankful for.

I am thankful for my blankets on the couch. Now that the weather is cold, I am spending a lot of time on them. They are both warm and comfy.

I am thankful my human brother and sister in law are going to visit us next week. I think. I don't actually like disruptions and house guests, but it is a good thing they are coming. For one thing, where is my litter box going to go? It is normally in the guest bathroom. Oh, dear.

I am thankful for all my blog friends and appreciate your comments even if I (translate MOM) don't get around to commenting on yours all the time. I do still try to read, and really enjoy all your posts.
Happy Thursday!

Thinking about it Tuesday


Should I nuzzle up to that nip leaf and rub my head on it or not? Does it have enough smell to bother with? After all, it is only a SINGLE leaf.
Maybe I will think about it a bit longer.

Mancat Monday

I am really posting this picture because we noticed it was a good whisker shot. And good whiskers are important for a Mancat. Do you see how the ones on my right side are more curvy up and the others are a bit more curvy down? I wonder why.

Sunday Sentinel

About a week ago, some people came to deliver and install a new dishwasher here. At first I was unperturbed but as they went in and out the front door over and over I went to my sentinel post on the landing to watch. Finally I beat a retreat up the stairs and watched from the safety of the steps near the top. Thank goodness they didn't stay forever!

Photo Hunt- Hard to Find


I should have checked the upcoming PHoto Hunt themes before posting that picture of my hard-to-see ears behind the leaf pile. The following photo was taken at the same time, but I am a bit easier to see in this one.

Later on that walk around the yard, I hunkered down between the edge of the driveway and one of the planter boxes, looking as if I thought it would be hard for Mom to see me and get me. Not so well-hidden here, am I?

Merry Christmas Cactuses!




Gardening takes place indoors here, now. Our Christmas Cactuses (Cacti?) reached the right combination of daylight hours and temperature that is magic for blooming and they were very pretty last weekend. The red ones came originally from a plant my Mom's Mom had 33 years ago. The pale pink one came from a plant my Mom and Dad got in honor of Mom's sister 7 years ago. One thing that is good about them is I never try to eat them, unlike the spider plants and assorted other houseplants they try to grow. So they can be in a room where I go without any problem. And another special reason to show these pictures is so Mom's other sister, Flossie's Mom, can see how pretty they look now.

Enjoy!
