Back Home

It is so nice to be home, in your own bed, with your own personal napping spots.

and your own personal TV. Here's mine...

and in this photo, you can see both Mom and I have access to our own special TV at the same time.

we sure are lucky.

Monday Bird Watching

You should hear it here in the morning. The birds sing up a storm. It's amazing. There was nothing like this at the old place. I can hear, and watch birds from so many places. From pretty much ANY spot in the house.  Here I am watching several birds at once. It's pawesome.

Almost When, but Not Quite

Lookit! This is all that is left of the snow in our front yard. Ellie and Simba, you came close, but it wasn't to be. You will not be the winners of this year's When When Contest.

Another sunny day in New Hampster and I'm ready for today's edition of Bird and Sqwirl TV.

Not Quite When Wednesday

Kikky Kats, Smudge and Sweet Purrfections, I am sorry to say you are not the winners of the When When Contest. As you can see, the snow is still there. The snow is melting everywhere.

Mom has been cleaning up the gardens and uncovered these crocuses.  There are green shoots everywhere and Mom is happy.

I like the warm weather too. I can tell you right now I am going to like the screened-in porch a lot.  Fresh air, 24/7 bird, sqwirl and bug TV, my own 'Nip plants... yup, life is pretty good.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

This is what it looks like outside this morning.

 It snowed yesterday. (This was taken at lunchtime.) It didn't amount to much. Because it was above freezing all day, the snow never collected on the roads or anything that was warm.

Mom and I are both surprised the snow is melting so quickly. We had so much of it, it seems it ought to melt slower, but that doesn't seem to be happening.  Of course, as the ground warms up (the ground freezes in winter in New Hampster) the snow melts from the top AND the bottom, so it melts faster.  What happens is the season we call "mud season."

Mom and I are hanging out today. She's got some sewing to do, and while she watches tennis on tv, I'll be watching my own personal Bird TV. It's gonna be a great day.

Snow Showers Saturday

There has been a lot of melting going on, but yes, that dusty white stuff on the ground is what you think it is.  The weather guys say we should get between 1 - 3 inches, but the afternoon temps are supposed to be above freezing so it won't last long.

A new season of Bird TV has started and I am watching.

Bird TV

So close,

yet so far.


It was practically a heat wave here yesterday. The temperature went ABOVE freezing for a while.  Of course, it will get colder again tomorrow, buy hey, that's January here in New Hampster.
