This morning, we were greeted with falling snow and just enough of a wind to be annoying. :-D
The outside cats were not impressed.
Spring is fickle!

Bee-utiful!
Today was our Costco shopping day. This was my splurge for the month. :-)

The Daily Grind
Aside from critter pictures, I haven’t been posting much about how things are going. Mostly because, it’s all pretty mundane right now. It’s been so awesome to have the warmer temperatures, and I’m so looking forward to being able to continue working on the yard!
The outside cats are appreciating the warmer temperatures, too.
Bob was just rolling all over the step, after greeting me as I finished up my rounds. :-D

Grateful
The family had quite the day, yesterday. One in which my husband and I both found ourselves feeling incredibly grateful for so many things.
Long story short; my husband ended up in the hospital, for about 24 hours, in the emergency ward. He is now home with appropriate medication and happily sleeping in his own bed again.

Well, most of my plans panned out
Today was going to be a day of out and about-ing, so I made sure to do the rounds a bit earlier this morning.
A quick glance out the bathroom window showed me that Slick was already waiting for breakfast. :-D
As I came out with their food and warm water, I found Nicky the Nose making his way out the door, while Slick slunk under the blankets and benches.
Part of my usual routine these days is to turn the electric heating pad back on for another 2 hours, while doing the cats’ food and water, then doing the deer and bird feed.
I came back to this.

When -18C is now warm! Also, a re-evaluation
Going out to do my rounds was down right pleasant, today!
I didn’t even bother to wear gloves, for a change. Even Butterscotch came to me after I finished putting deer and bird feed out, wanting me to carry her for the rest of my rounds! :-D
Ferdinand was in the sun room this morning, for a change, checking me out while I scooped up some kibble in the Old Kitchen. Usually, it’s been Slick in the sun room of late. With the warmer temperatures, all the outside cats are more active. Even the water in the sun room had barely any ice on it. There is a down side, though; as things warm up, the sun room is starting to smell very strongly of cat urine. We’re going to have to do a very thorough spring cleaning in there!

My new view, and warmed up – for a bit
Since switching up rooms, I have come to appreciate the view in my new office space. I’ve got my desk against the north wall, which means I can see out the window with my peripheral vision.
Turns out, it’s pretty active out there!
Every now and then, some motion catches my eye, and I look up to see a cat – or several of them – making their way through the trees, to and from the roof, or just… sitting there.

Changed plans
Ah, life. The things you throw at us.
While, thankfully, my husband did not injure himself when the kittens tried to kill him, and he ended up falling, it did not leave him entirely unscathed. As time went on, it became clear he did pull some muscles (I guess that should count as an injury?), and now he’s in even more pain than usual. Continue reading

Vehicular Milestone
You know, the outside cats make going outside quite entertaining! Check out Beep Beep!
Earlier, when I was walking around the yard, she followed me, insisting on attention, until I finally picked her up and carried her the rest of the way.
Later, as I brought the van into the yard, cats and kits scattered all over the place. Beep Beep went up the tree. When I came near, she started rolling around so much, she almost fell off!

A Good Day – and critters!
Before I go into today’s events, I wanted to share this photo from a few days back.
I had been watching the birds at the feeder and noticed some much bigger birds under the apple tree. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many robins, all together (there were several more that I was unable to get in a photo) . I also didn’t know robins like to eat crab apples!
Between the birds and the deer, any fallen apples get cleaned up, real quick! Continue reading
