Fridgid Weekend!

Julie: We had a wild weekend!

We had some snow on the ground.

A cold weather system moved through and boy

did it get cold on Saturday!!!!!!

It was so cold the water froze in the

pipes! Mum even had the water  running a bit too!

Apparently not enough or else it did not matter.

As the cottage is old, there are lots of places for cold to get in

especially the basement which is not a full basement.

The overnight temperatures got down to -16C(3.2F)

with gusts up to 47 KPH(29mph)

We were cozy under the covers with the furnace going.

In the morning as the temps slowly rose, the water started

running again. Probably because the wind died down too.

 We were lucky we had water back

before lunch. Smart mum had water in the kettle

for morning coffee! People in the city(we

are just outside the city) had lots of frozen and 

burst pipes. It made a lot of mess in high rise buildings.

The water people and fire department were very busy.

I was glad the the furnace kept us cozy and warm.

Snuggling with mum helped too.

We enjoyed a cozy night.

Sunday was pretty nice too.

Today is  better. We might get some rain showers.

The daytime temps will be above freezing

during the day and we may even get some rain 

later in the week. Sun too.

Have I ever mentioned that I am glad to be an

indoor cat?!

 

Snow Came and Now It's Going!

Julie: Hi friends and happy Monday!

On Friday, we had a snowstorm! Yuck!!!

Mum took these pictures Friday evening  about

7 PM

Looks like way too much snow!!!!!!!

 

Sunday morning it was warmer and the snow

was melting!

Sunday afternoon, you can see the melt happening!

Sunday evening, 6PM, there was more melting!!

                                       

This week our temps will be warmer and sunnier, so more

of this white stuff will melt!

On Friday, we will have rain.

With Spring here, I want to see the snow go,

and the temps to go up so the grass can grow!

I like grass...it's tasty!

Dear on Deer!

Julie: Mum was looking out the window Saturday

and this is whar she saw. A young deer in the

garden at the end of the driveway.

There must be some yount grass shoots coming up.

The green in the picture is Vinca.

The snow is gradually melting and is in places that do

 not get a lot of sun.

The deer must sense that she is being stalked and she is 

right! Mum has the camera pointed at it.

Meanwhile, I sit here waiting, and waiting for my

brushing session!!

Come on mum!!!!!!

 Fortunately, she did come and I got some pawsome

brushing time! You can see a pile of fur on the left.

MOL!
