Now I know...

Here, all along, I thought this was a Christmas cactus. As it's coming into full bloom right now, I guess it's actually a Thanksgiving variety! I watered it a few days ago, and only just noticed that it was blooming. (That's the reason for the nighttime shot taken before I wrote this post.) It's going to be magnificent by next week!

I'm working today, and the weather is supposed to be wretched...cold and rainy. I think November has finally caught up with us here in Wisconsin. Handsome actually gave our lawn the final cutting for this year yesterday! One of the "memories" I shared on Facebook yesterday was photos of the snow (November 18th five years ago), with opossum tracks heading toward the compass barn. I guess we're due for the white stuff after all.

Tomorrow is hair appointment day (at noon), and then dinner with my classmates again. Hard to believe it's that time already. The big debate around here is whether or not to keep my hair growing long, or go back to my sassy cut. It seems a little odd to think about chopping it all off just as winter hits, but most days with this longer "do", I'm paying much more attention to my appearance than I actually care to. It's nearly down to my shoulders now, and my biggest concern is that it makes me look like an old woman. My sisters say it doesn't, and I should keep it growing out. Handsome, my goddaughter and Mum think I look better with it short. I guess I won't actually decide until I'm sitting in Wendi's chair at the salon. 

For now, I'd better get going so I'm not late for work. I'm hoping the six/seven hours goes by quickly today. Once the weather turns, I admit that I prefer to be tucked in and cozy at home. 

TTFN! (Ta Ta For Now!)
