Well, the cats haven't eaten it yet, and it's been here since Sunday. Though I did enter the room to find Chester doing something to it. Sniffing it? Nibbling on the tendrils? Threatening it with a menacing growl? I don't know. I'm just going to enjoy this little succulent while it's still around, and discourage the cats from doing any damage...at least while I'm looking. ...

Unsent Letters #4
Dear Winter: It seems that you had a rough time of it this year. I mean, you never quite built up your confidence to just be yourself, you know? You were hesitant, a bit wishy-washy, and you brought far more rain than snow our way this year. Poor L.’s snow boots sit in the garage, mostly unused.

(Mostly) Wordless Wednesday: Cardinal in the Snow
A foot of snow was initially supposed to descend upon us this week, but -- as with all the big promises of snow this winter -- that did not come to pass. We did, however, get some snow yesterday, and Mr. Cardinal came to hang out in the tree just off our deck. I have to admit I love the sight of a male cardinal on a snowy day. And for once, he didn't fly away when I reached for my camera. (Oh, and I've decided to call theses posts "Mostly" Wordless Wednesday posts. The truth is, I just ...
