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.

Nothing an evening cocktail can't fix...

 I am trying to come up with a basic set of question to facilitate a daily post. So maybe the first question should be: 1. What was/is the highlight of your day or week? This week I went to a funeral of one of the saints of our church.  A sweet, sweet woman who was dearly love by so many. As I sat and listened to the testimony of the woman's life I felt truly blessed that I had the privilege of knowing her.  It was a blessing to know that she is no longer suffering. The next question should be; 2. What should I or could I have done differently today or this week? This falls under the category of a good thing and bad ting.  The new season of Lost in Space comes out this week. I LOVED that show when I was growing up!!! Sadly, I have totally forgot what happen last season so  am having to rewatch several of the previous episodes so I can catch up. This happens quite frequently.  Also, Diana Gabaldon has just published the next instalment to her Outlander series.  I have to (again) re-

Project 365 ~ Week 12 ~ It was a Muffinhead kinda week…..

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!   Later that e
