A little garden of succulents, travel, and cat parenting

With fall at our doorsteps, I decided to plant a little garden of succulents. It's in a bowl, and I can bring the bowl inside in case the weather becomes very cold this winter.


The pictures show two views of the same little bowl. It's nothing fancy, but if these will root well and grow, they will multiply and fill the bowl - maybe even more than one bowl.

Maybe caring for a little garden will be a substitute for caring for our two cats. I surely miss those two, but we don't want to cat parent again for a while until our travel season is over - and I don't know when that's going to be. We have trips lined up through next May, and I can't keep my eyes off the travel pages as they float by on the Web. There's a black sea cruise that keeps drawing me - places we haven't been and would like to see.

Maybe, for the time being, I have traded hens and chicks parenting for cat parenting.
