After coming back from checking the new Christmas lights I’d added to our fence line yesterday, I noticed the outside cat food bowls were empty.  I went through the Old Kitchen to take care of that, and disturbed the pile of kittens, sleeping on the swing bench.

This is what I saw when I opened the door to the sun room, plus The Outsider, who jumped down when I opened the other door to get the photo.

It occurs to me that I have not seen Corvo for some time.  Also, it’s been quite a while since I’ve both Rosencrantz and Guildenstern at the same time.

It’s getting cold enough that, along with the food, we’ve started to put warm water out for them, too.  They seem to be liking that!

We’re going from highs of barely above freezing, to 16C tomorrow, then right back down again.  One last day to get that last of things finished up and put way outside.  I don’t expect we’ll get another warm day like that again until next year.

I wonder how many of the cats we had over last winter will come back this winter?
