The Calm Before the Storm!

Julie: This is our view this morning.

The view this afternoon will look quite different.

We are getting a snowstorm!!

Mum is happy that she sook a few days off

so she does not have to be out when the snow 

comes.

This will be nice. Mum and I can watch the storm

together in the warmth of our home.

She put out a bunch of birdseed for the ones that come

so they can fill up before the snow comes.

WE might update when the snow comes ;)

 Mum will spend some time reading her book and I

will curl up on her nice warm lap.

That part will be FUN!!!!

Happy 2022 !!

Julie: Happy 2022 everyone!!!!

As you can see, I'm looking forward to this new year.

OK, maybe I'm just looking, but I am looking forward

 to a new year.

Mum talks about change. I'm not sure what she means

so I will reserve judgement for now.

 All I know is that it is a new year and both mum

and I hope that 2022 will be a good year for everycat and

everyone!!!!

Julie says Happy New Year!

Julie: So, mum says that this year is coming

to an end tonight. Tomorrow will be a 

new year after midnight. 2022 in fact!

As  a cat, I tend to not pay.

 attention to such things.

All I know is the humans tend to celebrate.

I suspect that there may be some

travel in the works too.

Mum has a birthday next week and is

taking a few days off and that will be the travel.

I am  not crazy about travel, but as long as I am with

mum I am happy!

So! To all of you I say...

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

 You just know that will be FUN!!!!

Merry Christmas from Julie

Julie: Mum and I wish all of you a very

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!

I am sure it will be FUN!

Christmas is getting closer!

Julie: I am trying really hard to  imitate the light block.

It is a contrast between light (the block) and dark (me)

With all the presents mum has wrapped, they are

taking up space on my table!

I hope mum leaves room for me so I can

still get my brushings!

Our little tree with some presents.

We don't put up a big tree as we do not spend

Christmas here.

Oh noes! I bet that means travel for me!

Gee, in the dark, the light from the tree shines through

the little pewter fireplace.

Once again we are getting snow.

It is gently falling and the flakes are big.

There is a saying here "big snow 

 little snow"

That means that when the flakes are large, the snowfall

amount is not very large.

Mum calls this broom snow as she can sweep it

away with a broom.

Small flakes usually mean deep snow.

We will have temps above 0C this week

before it cools off by Christmas Eve.

There may be snowflurries on Christmas Day.

Mum and I will already be where we need to be

for Christmas.

Dang, I think that means road trip!

 

Hanging with Mum!

Julie: Gee, mum's desk is a bit messy.

At least there is room for me to sit.

Sometimes I need to sit here to remind her that

she needs to pay more attention to ME!

 Good thing that is not hard.

Mum likes giving me attention...and scritches,

and kisses and hugs and... OK, you get the idea

...she loves me !

Well, I am a lovable girl and I love mum too!

I love to  be near her all the time. OK, most of the time.

We both enjoy being together because it is FUN!!

We both like FUN too!

I purr you all have a FUN weekend!

Wild Weather Weekend!

Julie: Guess what? Saturday night we had a big

thunder and lightning show! It rained pretty hard too.

the rain lasted so long (overnight) that it took away all the 

snow!

How about that?

Mum thought it was OK and I bet the birds that come 

to the feeders liked it too.

I don't think anything would keep Earl the Squirrel away 

from the seeds though. Critters still

have to eat...right?

When we had the big snow, I showed you a 

picture of a "snow bird"  on the railing of the back deck.

It was on Friday's post.

Our pawsome friend and fabulous artist

Ann(Zoolatry )  saw it and made this

fabulous arty picture!!!

It's really cool right?!!

Mum and I really like it too!

Thank you Ann !!!!!

 This week will be sun, some rain near the end of the week

 and Saturday...flurries.

It's that time of year when the weather is cooling off

and  winter is coming.

 For now, we will enjoy as many snow free days as 

we can get!!!

Lots of Snow!!!

Julie: Guess what? We had a snowstorm Thursday night!

Mum was glad to be home before it got bad.

So was I.

This is what it looked like in the morning!

Lots of snow! 

Mum was glad it was light and not heavy and wet.

She said it was not too bad for shoveling.

The snow did not stop the Earl the Squirrel!

He just burrows through the snow.

He really wants the seeds mum puts out.

So do the chickadees.

In the afternoon, the sun came out.

Mum and I saw a really strange bird!!!

 

OK, it was the way the snow covered the end cap on the deck

but the cap is not that high!!!

I think it really looks like a snowbird!

 Today is sunny, but we will have rain for the weekend.

Yup, strange weather  in Nova Scotia!

Strange weather, but this weekend mum and I will

be sure to have FUN !!!!

 

Snowfall !

Julie: Good morning friends!

As you can see, we had some snow on the weekend.

This is what we saw Sunday morning.

It was sunny but pretty cold!

In the afternoon I went outside to check it out.

Gee!! his stuff is pretty cold!

Not only that, it covered the grass!!

Time to head indoors where there is warm air blowing

from the furnace!

Do you know what the weather is today?
Rain!

Mum says it will be rain and flurries all week

Such is life on the East coast!

 

Evening Routine

Julie: I'm sitting here waiting for mum to finish up

with her evening routine and give me some scritches.

I like getting this attention before I go to sleep.

Love and cuddles really makes me sleep better.

I think it works that way for mum too !

I love to snuggle up to mum at night and I know she likes it too.

So mum, are you done yet!!!?

Yes Julie, I am done.

Time for our evening routine!

Woo Hoo!! I just know this will be FUN!!!!

 Have a pawsome and FUN weekend !!
