It's Ketchup Day

Greetings Blogger Buds,

How was your weekend and Monday?

The HH has been having back issues so I have been working on the leaves...forever.  Next year I'm hiring it done. 

 My little daffies are so confused. January is way too early to be trying to bloom.

My daughter recommended making stock from cheese rind for my bean soup.  She also suggested tossing in some carrots and rosemary.  I followed her instructions. The results were yum.😊

 It's baby steps with the kittens. They will come out when I'm around now, if I don't make any sudden moves. I still can't touch them, which they need. Hopefully soon.

This is the Christmas gift we got from my sister. She made one for each of the sibs. Pretty cool, huh?

  

This was taken in CO on one of my SIL's walks.

What about you, blogger buds. Got leaves(Cough. Cough. Choke. Choke.) ? Daffies that are blooming too early? Wild child kittens? A purrfect Christmas gift? A great spot to walk?

It's Ketch-up Day

 

 Greetings, Blogger Buds,

Did you have wondrous holidays?

Ours was great with one notable hitch. The daughter and SIL arrived the 24th as planned. Our son and family came in the 25th for a few hours. My bro and SIL arrived the 26th AND my sister had tickets through Southwest.  No more needs to be said. At least for those of you in the states.  If you live outside the states Southwest had mass cancellations over the holidays because of weather and their scheduling software. It was a mess of major proportions.

 

 

AND

We are fostering.  Meet Shrek (tabby) and Fiona  (the black and white). They're ferals. Our job is to get them socialized so they can get their forever homes. So far, they're still in hiding.

AND

Besides my wonderful calendar from Denise.

The HH got me a coffee calendar, which always makes me grin.

AND

A card from CJ with the envelope done in her amazing calligraphy. 

What about you blogger buds? Tell us about your holidays.

From Lust To Ravagement

I've been wanting a mum since spring. I knew what color I wanted and where I was going to plant it. I finally got one last week and was so excited. I got one that was in a half gallon container.  Not a bad size.  I figured  when October rolled around I'd have this lush, beautiful fall flower. I envisioned it looking like this:

And instead got this:

The kitten has ravaged it.  Sigh.  In a few short weeks he's gone from, "Oh thank you, thank you for saving my life," to "It's all about me." How quickly they forget:)
