Most of the pink/peach buds in my Christmas Cactus have opened but the white buds are taking their time.
I made Susan Branch's Snippy Doodle cake and although it was okay I don't think I'll make it again. I added a handful of dried cranberries which the recipe doesn't call for.
It's not raining today and I had a good walk. I'm about finished decorating and I'm packing up some things that are not needed and will take then to the thrift store next week. I'll need less ornaments next year if I put up only one tree and I'm sure the extras will find good homes.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating tomorrow.!

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you. The cactus is looking very good so healthy with all those buds.
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas cactus is flowering on one side only, I'm not sure why. Maybe it will improve. Your looks very lovely.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you got a good walk in and that cake sure does look good.
ReplyDeleteWhat a rich cactus! So many flowers on it!
ReplyDeletePlease can you sent to me this piece of cake?? Mmmmmm!
Did you have in the last years several Christas-trees at your home? I'm sure this was very great. But one is also fine!! So the decoration will make somebody else happy.
I love this poem very much!!!

Thank you for another lovely post.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little poster. Your Christmas cactus is just beautiful. Your cakes always look delicious!
ReplyDeleteMaybe your cactus is waiting for Christmas to open its flowers!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't begun any decorating yet - I must remind son to find the box of decorations, it is hiding somewhere out in the garage.
The cake looks yummy, but as you say you won't make it again I gather it didn't taste too good?
Love your little saying at the end, very true :) xx
My Christmas cactus is getting the bloom buds... it goes through this every 2-3 months all year long. I love that plant so much! I got it as a tiny piece 20 years ago from a friend who was in a nursing home at the time. Last summer I split it up between me and a couple other folks, so it's not nearly as big as it used to be but it's sure growing fast like always. I like that plate your cake is on, very pretty colors and design! Have a lovely Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful cactus! Can you imagine when it's all blooming? I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving G.M. Hope you have an enjoyable time. Your Cactus is a beaut! Regards. KEV.
ReplyDelete'Tis the time of year for Christmas cactus to bloom! It's funny that yours and mine are blooming at the same time, so far away from each other :) The cake looks good, but I'll follow your recommendation. Honestly ... I'd love to have some of your orange muffins! I made those after you shared the recipe - SO yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh - I meant to say - I have been reading your lovely posts, but my laptop was damaged (I dribbled milk onto the key board), and I couldn't type on it, so I couldn't leave any comments. But I've enjoyed your posts!
ReplyDeleteYour cactus is beautiful! I love that quote...it is so true.
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks delicious - you should put pics of your baking up as your header now when you change them for Christmas!

Someone will be very pleased to get those unused ornaments! They will snag themselves a little treasure, thanks to you. How strange of the Christmas cactuses to be out of sync in blooming...I guess being individuals, they will differ a bit!
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmas Cactus, it's so pretty. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteA quick extra comment. You guessed correctly on my age! I was around 12-13 and in the 6th grade. Gee, I would love to still look somewhat like that young girl! Have a lovely Friday my friend.

The Christmas cactus is spectacular! I had to donate a creche because I realized I had too many! I love finding them, but have to practice some restraint. Spread the joy around, ya know. ;) Merry Christmas decorating!
