I'm so proud of my Christmas Cactus which I've kept alive and growing for about 7 months that I had to take a picture. Maybe I don't have to kill all of the plants that come into the house!I never really realized how much my mood depends on the weather, or perhaps I should be more precise, the sun. My how glorious it was to wake up to a bright day. It's been pretty gloomy lately and that makes me gloomy too. It's not the rain, I don't mind rain it's the gray skies for days on end. I've impressed myself with the darkness within :( but get a bright sun and all of my energy returns. May have to move to a sunny clime. But where can I be almost guaranteed sunny days and still have the beautiful seasons with the variety of temperatures? I guess I'll have to stay put and just get in some travel time. After all it's the sun that helps make the seasons and I doubt that perfection exists, although I could perhaps move a bit more to the South.
Did some shopping today and found out that there aren't too many really nice Christmas cards any more. I guess even Christmas is going left. Most of the cards don't even say Merry Christmas and have any nice messages. I found some but I wasn't impressed and even the lady at the Hallmark store said they were not impressed with what they were able to get in stock. I purposely bought Made in USA because even Hallmark cards are sometimes made in China. It feels like a lot of the sweet things in life aren't as sweet anymore. Hmm . . . perhaps I'm just growing up!
Did buy myself some new sneakers but I had to order them because they didn't have my size in black. I'm hoping I'll be able to use them to drive the truck! They have really thick soles and are made especially for exercise and walking. I believe the company is called Sketchers and though expensive the sneakers felt grand. Also got around to cleaning out the raspberries so now the yard is all ready for winter.
