Alfred Hitchcock Comes To Mind

I was waiting to post these picture until I got some more interesting bird feeder pictures but- 
that's not been happening. So- look how cool this is!
Grackles from last Fall.



 Also a stray stealing cereal left for the birds (Maggie's not the only cat who likes cereal)


Fat little mourning doves on a cold winter morning.


I Love My Bird feeder!

Sensational Succulents

My succulents have been so happy lately. 
Obviously they have no clue that it is still freezing outside. 
The day I took this picture it was about 16* out.


We bought these cactus a few years ago and they were little babies. 
These orange flowers pop out a few times a year.



I bought the ones above from Ikea about a year and a half ago- also so tiny!
They need a lot of sun and not much water- perfect for my inconsistent plant care.



The Honecker gave me a little Christmas cactus a few years back and I could never get it to bloom. First bloom- 2 more buds to follow!



I'm not sure what to say about this creature. We bought it in Charleston as a wee babe. It has taken on a life of its own. Who knows- it may walk around at night!
Anyway- he is thriving.
