I delayed heading outside to do my morning rounds, to warm up a bit before having the outside cats come out of their shelters for kibble. I finally gave up and just headed out, because I knew they would be hungry. I was inside for a while before I took the above screencap. Yup. Almost … Continue reading We’re getting warmer. Honest!

We timed that right!
Helping my mother with her errands turned out to be timed just right. Chilly as it was, there was almost no wind, making it pretty easy to handle. Not today! I took this screen cap shortly after noon, and we were still at -31C/-24F. I somehow doubt we'll reach the high that is in the … Continue reading We timed that right!

No, thank you!
You know, I can handle the -27C/-17F temperatures. Bundle up enough, and the only real problem is my glasses frosting over. But that -44C/-47F wind chill, I could do without! My husband was a sweetheart and was able to feed the cats outside this morning, so when I headed out, I only had to feed … Continue reading No, thank you!

The cold does strange things…
Well, I'm certainly glad I did my extra shopping trip yesterday! A storm that was not in the forecast showed up overnight. "Thank you for the warm water!" Nosencrantz says. While it is still "warm" at -16C/3F, once we move out of the shelter of the house or trees, we got hit by the -36C/-33F … Continue reading The cold does strange things…

Enjoying a “warm” day
As I write this we are at an almost balmy -26C/-15F with a wind chill of -34C/-29F, and we're supposed to continue to get warmer over the next couple of days. Remarkable how our ideas of "warm" and "cold" change, when living somewhere that has such temperature extremes throughout the year! Yesterday evening, I'd treated … Continue reading Enjoying a “warm” day

I see you…
After setting out food and warm water for the outside cats, I noticed a little face peeking at me from under the kibble house. It wasn't until I uploaded the photo that I saw there were three cats under there! It's a bit tight, but squeezing under there is a favourite spot for the smaller … Continue reading I see you…

Morning surprise
I waited until things got warmer than -30C/-22F before starting my morning rounds. I guess the deer got tired of waiting for me, because I found them exploring! I managed to get a picture through the windows of the front doors. They seem very interested in the kibble tray under the shrine! 😀 When I … Continue reading Morning surprise

Just a bit chilly out there… !!!
I delayed heading outside for my (short version!) morning rounds. I figured the critters didn't want to be outside any more than I did! This was about half an hour before I got outside; -33C/-27F with a wind chill of -37C/-35F! I'd topped up their food last night, so I knew there would still be … Continue reading Just a bit chilly out there… !!!

A quick run
I was going to make a quick run into town this afternoon, when things were supposed to warm up a few degrees. While doing my morning rounds, however, I decided to head out right away, while the snow was still light and fluffy, and wouldn't be too much trouble to drive in. I counted 18 … Continue reading A quick run

Still celebrating!
Of course, we're into the 12 days of Christmas, now, so we'll be celebrating until the Feast of the Epiphany, aka: Three King's Day, on Jan. 6. 🙂 Even the kitties get to celebrate with special treats from the kitchen. I've got more in the fridge waiting for them, too. 🙂 We did our big … Continue reading Still celebrating!
