It’s always funny to see the deer and cats interacting.
There is also a cat on the bird feeder that the deer is looking at.
Meanwhile, Slick is keeping his paws warm by sitting on a pile of feed.
Eventually, the deer wanted the feed he was sitting on, which was a bit more than he would tolerate! :-D
I’m pretty sure the cats go up on the platform feeder as much to keep their paws warm, as to go after the birds.
Beep Beep stayed up there for probably and hour or two, the day these were taken.
Snoozy girl.
I just had to share this picture, that I took out my bedroom window, just before 2am.
This photo has only been resized, and was taken with my phone on the auto setting.
I could not believe how bright it was out there! There was a partial lunar eclipse last night, though this was taken well past that, with a full moon and mostly clear skies. It was so gorgeous outside!
Then there’s this, taken from our bathroom window…
There is Nikki the Nose, on my dad’s walker, and Ferdinand, under the transfer chair.
We’ll have a bit of a mess to clean up in the spring, but it’s worth it to give them some shelter from the cold – and for the entertainment value!

Dude, are you talking to me?
Wait! Was it something I said?
Come back!
As I write this, it is currently -29C, with a wind chill of -35C
When I went out to do my rounds, it was -32C.
Which would be why I found this.
My older daughter took care of feeding the critters this morning, so it was an hour or so before I headed out myself.
By then, the outside water bowl was already mostly frozen.
When I first got there, Beep Beep was sitting with her front paws in the bowl, on the ice.
My phone distracted her. :-D
Then I used the ice scraper to break up the surface of the ice in the water bowl. Next thing I knew, there were three cats drinking out of it!
One of my usual morning rounds had been to pick up all the twigs and branches in the yard that had fallen overnight. Once the snow got deep, I left the smaller stuff for spring. After yesterday’s winds, however, I went around and picked up some of the larger branches that had come down.
Trudging through unbroken snow is much more difficult than it looks. :-D
