Wordy Wednesday

I particularly love the front porch in the morning before the sun hits and it gets too hot. I'll spend time out here again later when the sun moves to the other side of the house, but in the morning it's the perfect spot.

You know what happened? It got really hot over the weekend, and Mom closed the windows and turned on the A/C. Then she took a nap.  She did not know I was camped out on the porch. When she woke up I MEOWED to get back inside.  She let me in right away, of course. It's not her fault. I have several hiding places in the house where she can't see me, so she didn't know I was on the porch.

Heh.

Wordy Wednesday

I'm fine. Mom's been bizzy making birds for a quilt. She's been going hog wild, making birds every night after day hunting. You can go over and see. Birds birds birds. It's pretty crazy.

The heating monster is fine. It's the oil tank that has problems. The heating monster v-e-t was over for a third time this past weekend and figured out the problem was water in the bottom of the tank. It would get in the pipe and freeze, so the heating monster starved.  We think it might be fixed now, but there may be some repairs in the future. So every night Mom comes home hoping the house is warm. So far so good, paws crossed.

We watched the Parade on New Year's Day. This was our favorite float. Mom likes dragons.

The weather finally got cold here in New Hampster. It is 12F (-11C) right now, and that's cold. We are supposed to have a couple of sunny days coming up with the temps above freezing. The nights will be very cold, but there is no "measureable" snow in the forecast. Works for us.

All the garden places are sending Mom catalogs. I think it's pretty funny, but I'm sure she'll be poring over them when she's done making birds. In the meantime the only green things growing here are her Amaryllis bulbs.  This one is just starting to open up.

I'll try to make sure Mom helps me blog more often than I have been lately.

A Little Wordy Wednesday

Mom's going shopping tonight for the prizes for the When When Winners.  In case you are wondering why Mom has kept the big list up, it's because we have decided to have a consolation prize.

This is the pile of snow under the kitchen window. This was so tall Mom couldn't see over it.

and this is the pile under the bedroom window. Both of these snowpiles face North and never get any direct sunlight. When both of these piles of snow are gone, the When When Consolation Prize will be awarded, so kitties, you still have a chance!

Wordy Wednesday

Mom's been busy this week. The weather has been very nice. Sunny warm days; no humidity, no rain. Nice sleeping weather, in the mid 60's F (18C). Mom opens the windows wide and puts a couple of quilts on the bed. Usually I sleep next to her for a while and I get some nice scritches before she falls asleep.

This is me with one of my favorite quilts at the MFA show in Beantown. They wouldn't let me leave any of my furs on it.

Drat.
