Ahhhhh, this is the life....................... the sun has finally shown itself, it has been absent most of the winter here in Iowa, what's a kitty to do.

Christmas Cactus


Posted by Picasa

My old fashioned Christmas Cactus is putting on another show.  It must be especially happy this year. 

I had my grandsons this past weekend so did not have a chance to participate in Camera Critter Saturday but will be back next Saturday.  Had a great time with the boys!

We missed a snow storm yesterday, we have almost 40 inches of snow on the ground, I'm getting very winter weary.  We are starting to worry about flooding this spring, after the flood of 2008 we are still very nervous.

Camera Critter Saturday

I have been planting herbs to attract Black Swallowtail Butterflies for 3 years, the first 2 years, I was successful, last year I did not have any for some reason, keeping my fingers crossed for next year.
They like fennel and parsley.
