Doodads — 2 pics from the past week and a song

resized sunset 20241101_190105

This is a pic taken of sunset a few days ago.  I thought it was pretty.  The next pic is my newest plant project.  I removed a couple of lobes from the prickly pear cactus, have let the cut end dry out well, and yesterday planted them in a mix of perlite, gravel, and planting mix.  The tray is sitting on a mat heater to dry out the soil.  Keeping fingers crossed.

I’ll be reading, listening, and commenting until the end of today.   Will be back on the 25th.

      Thanks, Miriam. I’m geeked about it. Hoping the cats don’t get curious about them.

  10. Great pics, Lisa. As for “Happy Trails,” it’s, well, a happy song! :-)

    I’ve been thinking about taking a break as well. And, who knows, after Tuesday, I might need one! For now, I’m trying to stay optimistic.
