Saturday stitches poncho project is moving along slowly..
I'm working on 90 rows, each row has 119 extended single crochet stitches. Once I get to the neck opening.  I'll be happy 
Also I changed my mind*** on the Poncho Pattern
I'm making a Stearns Poncho out of the same yarn I was using.

***I made a major mistake on the original poncho. Had to take it out down to
ribbing.  Decided to change patterns.

Nature and Feline Friday

  Nature Friday host LLB Gang  

Thank you for hosting!

From our yard

Before the 2 weekends of snow and ice the daffodils and Ruby Camellia were starting to bud.  I feared they would not bloom.
I guess the blooms were insulated by the snow and ice.

Ruby has more blooms at one time than she has had in many years.

Thankful and Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #250

Thankful Thursday hosted

We had a 20 lb bag the first weekend. However, that dwindled to 10 lbs quickly.  The 2nd weekend we used the remaining 10 lbs sparingly.  There was absolutely no ice melt to be found.   
Thankful Thursday is quite simple....
Saturday, February 14, 2026 our HEARTS were 
thankful to see this pile of Ice Melt at Ace Hardware in Lake Boone Shopping Center.
50 lb for 18.99.  We hope we don't need it again this year but are very 
THANKFUL to have it.


Crazy coincidence this photo and the Poetic Photo are so similar.


Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats

Today's photo challenge

Wordless Wednesday with Kat

 

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at

Dear Auntie HiC,

I understand that Mom loves all of us cats equally, but since I was the first cat to arrive on the hill back in 2018, I feel that I’m extra special.



I must humbly admit that I’m a handsome and distinguished man-cat. 


I won’t tell Rocky and Cali that I’m the center of the universe, and they just revolve around me! 😹


❤️ Kat


Nephew Kat you are 100% correct. The world is your oyster, and the humans in it are putty in your paws.


Loving
Auntie HiC

Happy Tuesday

Recently we went to Outback for Lunch...this beautiful wooden replica of Australia's 
flag on the wall near our booth.
 I don't recall ever knowing much about the flag 
This is Australia's flag and a brief explanation of the meaning.
Adopted in 1901, the Australian flag represents the nation's British heritage, federal structure, and Southern Hemisphere location. It features the Union Jack (British history), the seven-pointed Commonwealth Star (six states and territories), and the Southern Cross constellation (geographic location) on a blue field. 
Key Elements and Meanings:
  • Union Jack (Top Left): Acknowledges Australia’s history as a British colony and its continuing connection to the United Kingdom.
  • Commonwealth Star (Bottom Left): Also known as the Federation Star, it has seven points representing the six states and the territories
    . It symbolizes the unity of the federation
    .
  • Southern Cross (Right Side): A prominent constellation visible in the Southern Hemisphere, representing Australia's geographic location. The stars represent the five moral virtues (justice, prudence, temperance, fortitude) ascribed by Dante, as intended by the original designers.
  • Color Palette: Blue, white, and red.
