I was playing with my new toy and Ferd was watching from the porch, wondering what I was doing.The camera just seems to baffle all the cats who cannot imagine what’s so interesting.

“But WHY are you putting this stuff all over the counters and not letting me play on it?? It’s not faaaaaaiiiiirrr!”

I think it just confuses Bianca when I take photos of boring things like plants. She tends to get in the middle of it and look at me like I’m crazy.

So Black Jack is/was a Dupont variety; I note it’s not listed on their website any more, so it might have been discontinued. I’ve never been a big fan of the browns and greens in hibiscus blooms, but Charlie thought this one looked exotic.

It’s a slow grower, and even after being pinched off twice, this was the first bloom in 9 months. (though a second followed close behind.)

And I concur.

It’s cold. Really cold. Ridiculously cold.

I really don’t want to give you a number, because you’ll only roll your eyes and tell me to stop whining. It’s 35 degrees.

The problem is that it’s 35 EVERYWHERE. New Orleans houses were built to breathe- a nice way of saying that they’re drafty as hell. This morning I got up and it was 28 outside and 47 inside.

It’s supposed to start warming up tomorrow. If it doesn’t, I’m going to have to start hiking further south.

First off, how the hell can it be almost October? Wasn’t it just New Year’s, like a week ago?

Yeah, I know, isn’t aging great, blah blah blah.

Anyway, Charlie is a Halloween baby, and this year we’ll be having the 2nd annual costume/birthday party, theme tba.

This pic is from last Halloween’s decorations; it’s our most evil cat, Sixie, snuggling down with her soulmates.
