There’s not a lot of good to say about our weather right now. It’s just good weather to be inside. So, once again, I’m just sharing some of what we do in the house (besides staring at a computer).
Sky, Tiger, and Rocky sharing the new bed.
Of course, there’s lots of sleeping cats.
Herbie is such a little love bug.
Why not sleep on the cooler I set there to take back to the car?
I also am thrilled to have some flowers to look at. My Thanksgiving cactus is putting on a pretty good show right now.

And I always love my plants. The prince of orange is gorgeous. I love those new leaves.

The new monstera leaf is at the point it wants to start standing up, but that means it was dangling over the vent on my oven. I had to move it so I didn’t bake it.

That means, I had to move the ornamental pepper also. And I honestly don’t know what to do with it. I just can’t get rid of all the spider mites and I’m afraid they will spread. I can’t just throw it out into the cold though. Seriously. I thought about taking it to the soap room and keeping it there to try and treat it, but we’re so cold it wouldn’t even survive that short walk.

Do you see the dirt on the floor? Some naught cat decided to play in it since I moved it. Of course, 99% of the time when I’m talking about a naughty cat, I mean Salem. He’s lucky I adore black cats.

I am also facing a decision with the remaining baby pomegranates. I think it’s a failed experiment. I might try it again, but I would start them outside in the spring and hope they would grow a sturdy enough trunk to support them. These are never going to do that.

Finally, I accidentally knocked of a strand from my string of pearls.

I’m trying to start it (because I seriously need another plant), but I’ve never been successful doing that, so we’ll see.
