Today, I finally was able to get outside and use the new electric snow blower around the house. I really wanted to get it done while the weather was still good; we’re supposed to start getting cold again in a couple of days. Nothing like the bitter cold we had before, but enough that I don’t want to be outside for 2 hours, or be trying to use the snow blower in high winds.

What a fantastic little thing Spewie is!

Also, we can now use the fire pit, if we want to. :-D

Photo heavy post ahead! :-D

Another photo from January.

Just a small area showing the mass of redpolls we get at times. Sometimes there will be pine grosbeaks, chickadees and blue jays with them, but none in such crowds!

He has the pinkest nose.

There’s something about these weeds and stems; all the cats, at some point, end up sticking their faces into them. :-D

A bird feeder is as good a place to groom as anywhere else, I suppose! :-)

Such a pretty kitty!

Hard to believe that, only a year ago, Beep Beep was such a skinny little thing. Now she’s all big and healthy and hardy!

We got a “baby”

And it’s so tiny and cute.

Just look at that little thing! I absolutely HAD to put it next to the big one before using it, to get a picture.

It’s a good thing I called ahead to see if any were in stock, and have it set aside, because there were only two left, and by the time we got to the store, in a small city about 45 minutes drive away, we got the only one left. I’d hoped to find one at a local (ish) hardware store but, not only were they out of stock, so was every other store the guy looked up for me! Thankfully, I was able to find one in another franchise, even if it meant an unplanned, longer drive.

But more on that later…
