Around Marie's House

 
We kept things calm again today, since I had a program this evening.

Two of the primary things you'll notice around Marie's house are Grissom (darker) and Princess Grace (lighter). They like to sleep together except when there is a human who is flat for them to sleep on.

Marie also has some nice plants. Her "Christmas Cactus" is in bloom. I'm trying to learn the difference between the kinds of these. This one is actually Thanksgiving Cactus, Schlumbergera truncata. It's easy to tell because the leaves have "claws."

This cactus is also blooming. Not sure what it is.

And this one is getting ready. Maybe it will be open for you to see in a day or two.

We started a puzzle. It's our second, but the first one was really easy, so it hardly counts. We did it and cleaned it up so fast I didn't even get a picture!

The program went really well. 15 people came, which was really good since the notice was so short. I sold several books. Oh, and I wrote 1200 words this morning.

That bed is the perfect size for those two cats.
I had no idea there were different kinds of Christmas Cactus. Hers looks nice. I had one for a really long time but like all plants in my house it eventually died

Charlee: "A house with two cats. That sounds about right to us."
Chaplin: "Hey do you know what flavor those cacti are? Asking for a friend."
