Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
Today felt like the first day of winter, with frost on the ground and temperatures in the low thirties. Even so, we bundled up and took a walk at a nearby park, where crispy, fallen leaves were still everywhere on the ground. ‘Hey dear,’… Continue Reading “Saying Goodbye to November”
I’m back from Hawaii but had this post prepared before I left. I thought I’d have more pictures to add, and I do but not many. I’d visited Soos Creek Botanical Garden recently, not Sue’s Creek, looking for yellow and orange, since my own… Continue Reading “Yellow and Orange at Soos Creek and Hawaiian Sunset”
