Julie on Friday

 

Julie: Here are some random pictures mum too of me.

Here I am on the edge of the bed.

Mum has the Winter cozy sheets and they are warm.

I like snuggling with mum!

On a sunny day, I curled up on the porch sofa.

The sun was nice on my furs too.

Mum opened the door and I sat outside for a bit.

It was cool bit not cold. I did not wander as there is no

tasty grass this time of year.

I was happy to be outside for a bit.

It will probably be a while before

I sit out again. Mum says we are getting snow!

It will start early Friday morning.

Oh well, that happens in the Wintertime!

24 days until Spring!

C-C-Cold Friday !

Well another Friday is here and it feels the same as all

the other days this week...COLD!!!

Mom said that we shall see an end to this bone chilling 

weather  towards the end of the weekend and into

next week. Thank goodness! Bet it has been very hard 

on any animals outside!

It was quite nice on out enclosed porch yesterday, so

I went out and spent time in the box. It was nice!

Then Mom came along and wanted to take pictures! ::sigh::

She had to be silly and shoot through the hole in the box.

Peek-a-boo !

 

Tillie enjoyed the porch too. The sun brings out

the red in her furs ;)

She likes being on the porch so she can keep an eye on 

things! Yes, one of the "things" is Julie. As long

as they just look, Mom is OK with that!

Julie spent time in the kitchen windows, since that is 

the best place to watch the birds and squirrels.

She also likes to watch Mom,after all, it IS a kitchen !

 

  Tiger was enjoying a snooze on a blankie on top of a puff

comforter.

  The best place to sleep and be warm, she says.

With her arthritis, she loves to be warm !

JJ likes following Mom around. He is looking for belly rubs!

He got them too !!

Treasure is looking nervous.He is by nature, 

but even more so now!! Yesterday, Mom took him and Tiger

 to the Vet!

They both need dental work, but Treasure will most

likely loose teeth !!!!

When the sun was coming up, the orange glow highlighted

the frost on the kitchen window.

Here in Nova Scotia, the sun rises at 7:43 AM and twilight 

starts  about a half an hour before the sun comes up.

That gives us that nice orange glow. 

It also highlights the wonderful artwork that

Jack Frost paints on the windows during the cold nights !

That really makes us glad to be indoor kitties !

Today it is - 12C with a wind chill factor making it 

feel like - 28C !!! It has been a few years since

we have had weather this cold !

Too bad for Mom, heehee

Stay warm friends and stay inside!

If you live "down under" stay cool  ;)

Either way, have a fun weekend !!!

Winter Wonderland

Well,Winter has finally arrived!!
We have had some light snow before,
but this is our first real snowfall.

In fact, Mom says that it is a snowstorm.
The 'storm' part will start later when the wind
starts to blow.

When Mom was taking these pics,she said it was freezing rain.
That does not sound like fun to us!

That stuff looks it would be cold on my toes!!

Therefore,we will be indoors doing this,

and this,

and plenty of this!!!!!

We hope you are cozy and warm where you are,
inside or outside!

Mancat Monday- Winter Solstice

Late yesterday afternoon we started to get some snow
from the big storm that hit the eastern US very hard.

This is a part of our deck in the afternoon.

Mom took this picture at 10 PM
We have about 2.5 inches of snow.
Mom hopes it stops soon,hahaha
She says we have enough for a white Christmas!!

See the lights glowing through the snow!!

"The holly and the ivy, when they were both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly bears the crown. . .

I am the Holly King, Lord of the Waning Year. You may know me as
the Green Man or as the Winter King.
I rule from Midsummer to Midwinter, and my reign culminates
in the festivities of Yuletide.
As the wren dies to make way for the robin,
soon I will bow before my brother the Oak King.
You will not see me again until the Sun once more begins to wane.
As I prepare to withdraw into the deep midwinter,
I contemplate the glowing light of the reborn Sun in my cup —
and in this holy grail, I see visions and dreams of the year to come.

Carry a sprig of holly with you as my token.
It will protect you against fierce winter storms,
and will bestow upon you the focus, direction and
courage you need to succeed in your own spiritual quest.

Fill your homes with holly this season! Deck the halls!
My evergreen leaves and bright red berries,
seen against the barren oaks of winter, will remind you
of the Life that sustains us during the bitterest time of the year."
- The Holly King

Also, today is Tall Son's birthday!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if Moe,Mindy,Bono,Mike & Cookie
will throw a party for him! heehee

I Don't Like Winter

Hi,it's me,Georgia. I just wanted to tell you how much I do not like winter. I mean,it's cold and it snows, but you know what is the worst? It's dry! The air is dry ! It makes my furs get all shocky when Mom pats me. I don't like that. Mom calls it static electricity.

I don't care what you call it,I don't like what it does to my furs. Just look at how they stand up!

Winter! Yuck!! The time when cats get electrocuted when they get patted!!!

How long till Spring ?!!

We also got an award!! This is from our friends Dragonheart & Merlin. Thank you so much!!!!!We also received this award from TT !! WooHoo!

Fickle Winter

Winter is cold. There is snow and wind and cold. It is the best season for naps because Mom turns the heat on :)

The landscape sparkles in sunlight.

Everything looks clean and white,even on cloudy days.

I am curious about snow. I would like to put my pawprints in that snow!

But then it rained and spoiled the white landscape ! Fickle winter!
