Our hosts for Nature Friday  LLB Gang   

Photos were taken at 8 am on December 9th.

About 3pm on Monday December 8th it STARTED Snowing in Dixie

It was light snow the ground was wet from the rain/sleet earlier in the day

I hear lots of laughter coming thru the inter webs...

It snowed lightly all night. On Tuesday, December 9th, the cars had a light coating on the top,

the streets, driveway, side walk and steps were clear.

THIS IS HOW WE DO SNOW IN DIXIE

FYI THIS WAS OUR FIRST SNOW AND IT WAS VERY EARLY FOR SNOW IN DIXIE

I HOPE THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE A PATTERN CARRIED ON INTO 2026

Happy Tuesday Double Date with my Nephews and their Ladies

 Auntie HiC,

For our first double date with Katie and Precious, we decided to surprise them with an overnight trip to the North Pole.

We boarded The Polar Express and traveled north to visit Jolly Old St. Nick.

We enjoyed hot chocolate & cookies, while singing Christmas carols.

Santa greeted us upon our arrival, marking the beginning of an enjoyable experience.

We visited the elves’ workshop, played in the snow, made S’mores around the campfire, and the girls went sledding. We even helped Santa with the “Naughty & Nice” list!

Before our departure, Santa presented each of us with a personalized Christmas ornament. He even sent one for Cali, knowing she would have a hissy fit if left out! 😹

The girls thoroughly enjoyed every moment and expressed their gratitude under the mistletoe! (Wink wink) 😻

Thank you, Katie and Precious, for making our trip to the North Pole an unforgettable experience!

Ho Ho Ho!

 

Dearest adorable nephews Kat and Rocky.

Please tell Mom her videography skills are amazing I don't know how in the

Nature and Feline Friday

Our hosts for Nature Friday  LLB Gang    

In 2013 when the General Assembly was selecting North Carolina's State marsupial, it was easy since the Virginia Opossum is the only marsupial found in the state

Before I retired one of the Physics Professors from Argentina saw one for the first time.  She had 2 cats👏.  She loved all animals and became thoroughly infatuated them.  She left bowls of cat food on her patio for them.  (NC Wildlife discourages feeding them).  Any way one day when she went out to put food in the bowl one of them took the opened patio door as an invite in.   Needless to say when Mr. O got in the house her two house cats were not amused.  She had to lock her cats in the bedroom until  wildlife officers came to evict Mr. O.

The Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), also known as the North American opossum, is a member of the opossum family found from southern Canada to northern Costa Rica, making it the northernmost marsupial in the world.^[7] Commonly referred to simply as the possum,^[8] it is a solitary nocturnal animal about the size of a domestic cat, and a successful opportunist.

Opossums are familiar to many North Americans as they frequently inhabit settled areas near food sources like trash cans, pet food, compost piles, gardens or house mice. Their slow, nocturnal nature and their attraction to roadside carrion make opossums more likely to become roadkill.The Virginia opossum is the original animal named "opossum", a word which comes from Algonquian wapathemwa, meaning "white animal". Colloquially, the Virginia opossum is frequently just called a "possum

Madi: A tale of one tail 

Madi has a very long tail, it is quite expressive and she delights

in using it. Sometimes she gets it in very awkward positions.
This looks like it should hurt.

As always

THANKFUL AND Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #240

 

 Thankful Thursday hosted

I am thankful for each day that Bryan and I are able to get up (albeit a bit stiff and achy), have breakfast together, sip our favorite flavor of Peets coffee and then prepare for whatever the day brings.  We are STILL able to exercise each day either walking or going to the gym. As the saying goes, 

motion is lotion to the joints.

This week's photo challenge

At Christmas, we have learned, snacks 

are left out for Santa Claus.

Mom caught us taking a sample.

We told her it was our civic duty

to be sure the milk was fresh

and the cookies were sweet.

After all, we don't want Santa's

belly that shake like jelly to

get grumbly and rumbly

he might toss his crumbly cookies

on the rug and we'll be blamed.

Ruby da Red Camellia all lit up

RECAP of Ruby's Selfie last week

 On Sunday, November 23, 2025 we adorned Ruby the Camellia with 400+ mini Christmas lights. (We won't light her up until after Thanksgiving).  I'll let her do another selfie when we turn on her lights.

While adorning her we noticed she has a zillion buds on her

her time to bloom/shine is between November and February.  Sometimes she blooms twice

This is her very first bloom of the season.

I Pizapped the red bow on the top Ruby Camellia
