Rain, Muffins, and Thanksgiving Cactus

 It's a very rainy Friday and the upcoming forecast is for rain every day at least for the foreseeable future. I believe our winter weather has begun.  We had a very short, but lovely, Autumn; now the rain has set in.
I picked up a stack of books at the library. I won't be short of reading material.  What with the regular housework and baking I'll keep busy.

On the subject of baking I made Pear muffins which turned out a bit bland so I mixed a bit of lemon juice and icing sugar to make a thin icing for them. It improved them a lot.
 


I received this lovely arrangement of flowers. I love the colours🧡🤎💛.


 My Thanksgiving Cactus seems to be developing buds. I must remember to water it again and mist it as well. Only recently did I read that they appreciate being misted. For years I thought I had a Christmas Cactus then I found out that according to its 'leaves' it is actually a Thanksgiving one. 
There's even an Easter one although I don't think they are seen very often.


 

That's it for today. My latest book is waiting. Thanks for visiting.
