Then and Now…and you asked so here it is “My Alarm Clock!”

I love digital y’all. It just frees me up to take as many pictures as I want. Don’t you wish you had all your older pictures in digital format? I know I do. That is a project for another day. How long would it take to scan all the hard copies of all the pictures I have in albums????  But I digress.

I have been enjoying the blossoming of my Christmas Cactus even though it waited until March to start producing blooms.

Here is my Christmas Cactus on January 9, 2009.

Flash forward to this past Thursday, March 18, 2010. It is about twice the size as it was last year. I am wondering if it has decided that it is now an Easter Cactus since it waited until March to bloom?

I’m wondering will it ever even back out and start  blooming at Christmas????

Any Cactus expert out there???

EDIT: after reading all the inquires in my comments about my alarm clock I snapped a few pictures of it this morning.

It’s La Crosse, the little side piece pivots and you can either direct it at the wall or the ceiling to project the time/temperature. It cycles back and forth between the two. It is wonderful to wake up on a super cold mornings and see what the temp is. Before I moved I had a walking partner and we would meet very early in the morning to walk, rain or shine. Our only rule was we drew the line at below freezing temperatures. I asked for this clock specifically for my birthday one year because on cold winter morning I got tired of dragging my butt out of bed just to check what the temp was. This way I did not even have to get out of bed to tell if it was to cold to walk. Loved it!!!!!

Now THAT's a useful clock! Anything that gives me a few more minutes without having to freeze to death is the clock for me. And your cactus? No idea. I would have killed it before it ever bloomed again, I'm sure. It obviously loves you. But who doesn't? :)

My Christmas cactus is one my favorite plante. Mine blooms all times of the year too. No set routine. That is a great clock. I want one too. Love & blessings from NC!

This is hilarious - I have that VERY clock! We keep it in the kitchen instead of the bedroom (we like that it tracks humidity so we know when to run the humidifier). So funny! I never even thought of moving it to the bedroom.

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
