Orchid show and sale

A local nursery was the host to the Mary's Peak Orchid Society Show and Sale today. I arrived one hour after it started and it was already packed. The orchids on display were quite pretty and there were lots of choices available to take home.

An Outdoor Cat House

I had put a cardboard box outside for our very skittish/somewhat feral cat to sleep in during these cold wet months. My husband decided that wouldn't do, and in the matter of one afternoon constructed an outdoor cat house out of wood with a concrete board roof. The boys got to paint it the next day and the cat has approved!

Good Morning!

Pancakes are a great way to start the day, especially on a cold January morning. I have cooked these Whole Wheat Apple Cider Pancakes twice so far and love them each time. The recipe came from All Day I Dream About Food.
