Storm Day with Mum at Home !


Julie: This was the scene yesterday. There is a BIG
storm  that started last night.
These ducks must have known as they dropped by
to stock up on seeds.


Mum and I  usually see 2 ducks.
Yesterday, they brought friends.


Since it is a BIG storm, mum is staying home!!
Can you tell that I am super happy?
Oh boy!! Belly rubs? Yes please!

This was mum's snack last night.
Storm chips?* NO!!
She had storm crackers with cheese and wine.
MOL!!!


 I am happy with my regular cat treats, though
a little bite of cheese might be OK ;)


* In our area "storm chips" are a thing.
The prefered snack when it is stormy.
It is so popular that you can actually buy   potato
chips labeled as "Storm chips"!
Works for any kind of storm, not just
snow storms ;)

Edit: This is the scene at 8AM
The wind is still blowing though the snow
has stopped falling.
Lots of snow to shovel.
At least it's light and fluffy!

Hope you don't get blown away or snowed in.

My human likes your human's idea of storm snacks, Julie!

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

Those ducks were sensible to stock up on their own storm snacks.

never heard of storm chips... Love it!

The biped says your mum knows how to snack, Julie! :-D

We'd heard about the storm sweeping across NS, though it probably won't stick around long. It looks pretty when it's freshly fallen!

Take care and stay safe and snug.

The idea of storm chips is purrfect!
I think you all are on the other side of the polar vortex that has us in very, very cold temps.
Yes, it's winter, but I'm over it already...

Well, a big storm isn’t much fun...but having your mom home is. Enjoy those belly rubs!

Those who live outside seem to know when to stock up on noms as those ducks did. We got a ton of snow last ween and they are calling for more this week. Sheesh! Glad you got Tummy Rumps Julie and hope you have more to come

Ivan from WMD said...

Storm chips! We like it!! And what about all those ducks! Did your mum put out storm seeds? MOL!

Thank you for your kind words about Elliott. We're getting used to being just the two of us now.

Both storm chips and storm cheese and crackers with wine sound yummy! We had a big snow storm, too, Julie. We are glad you and Mum had a storm day together. XO

That's the pretty kind of snow. I've never heard of storm chips!

I've never heard of "storm chips" but I've seen photos of the grocery store shelf just before a hurricane where all the snack foods are gone! Cheese, crackers, and wine sound like a tasty storm snack.
