Thanksgiving cactus checking in

The thanksgiving cactus is budding up nicely, just in time. 

And I'm up for a quiet day, cannellini and chard soup, roast cheesy potatoes, jigsaw puzzle, all planned.

And reading is appropriate for the day

I'm thankful I'm able to do what I do, and for the generous presence of all you blogistas! If it's just Thursday where you are, happy day anyway. Or if it's Friday, same, same.

  1. Your thanksgiving cactus is looking very happy indeed.
    I’m a bit worried about mine. All the humidity might be bad for them. And to all the other plants too

  2. Not quite Friday here yet, a couple of hours away yet. Blogistas I love and I think I will use the word.

  4. Happy Thanksgiving, dear woman. I consider you a friend and a friend for whom I am grateful. I might work on my sorely neglected jig saw puzzle today myself.

  7. Still no sign of any buds on my cactus but at least I've kept it alive for a year which I consider a great accomplishment. All the same, I'd like some flowers. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your HS.

  13. Tis Friday here but happy Thanksgiving, anyway! There is a lot about your country that I am glad we don't have (orange people and gun crime for starters) but I do wish we would adopt Thanksgiving. No gifts. Doesn't need to be religious. Just a day to gather with loved ones and be grateful. The world could well be a better place.

    1. I love thanksgiving, no presents, no shopping for gifts, no decorating unless you create a cornucopia, just a lovely dinner with family and friends, messaging of good wishes, a lot of pleasure. This year we really needed it.

    3. She's already in a new home? That does free you up for plants, yes. Flowering plants are great. Maybe you'll also get a Christmas poinsettia?

  14. Happy Thanksgiving The First, Boud. It sounds like a lovely peaceful day was had. Now you have Thanksgiving The Second coming up, and you already have that well-organized. I agree - it's (by far) my favorite holiday too.
