Millie Monday

It was so nice this past weekend that Mom left the window open for me. I love having a front row seat to everything that goes on in this part of the neighborhood.

Happy Easter!

Isn't this photo of Mr Karate and Little Miss just PERFECT!!!

Mom and I both think so.  Happy Easter!

Where Am I Wednesday

It's a warm Wednesday morning, do you know where I am?

 

I'm on the front porch. Where else would I be?

It was in the 80s yesterday (29C). It was so warm last night Mom kept some windows open. It will be cooler than that for the next couple of days, but it will be "normal" for this time of year, so that is just fine with us.

Sun Puddle

Wow! Yesterday was nice, but Sunday was nicer! It got to be 60F. Mom opened windows and the door to the front porch. I spent a lot of time out there, but decided to lie in this nice sun puddle.

A Week

Wow! What a difference a week makes.

This was the view outside the side door last Saturday.

And here is the same view this morning. This is much better. I spent some time on the front porch this morning, and that was really good. I will be spending a lot more time out there as the weather warms up.

I Am Eleven!

Oh. My. Bast.

I can't believe it. Today is my birthday and I am eleven years old. Yikes! I'm almost a geezer kitty. Dunno how that happened!

I didn't even know if I would make it to one year old, because I almost went to the Bridge when I was not yet three months old. I got hit by a car and got a broken leg and then I got rescued and now I live the life of a lucky cat. I have a terrific forever home with my awesome Mom. I have not one but TWO kitty condos, sensational bird TV, more places to nap than I could ever want, and best friends all over the world.

And Mom says I changed her life. Guess that means I'm not the only lucky lady in this house!

Millie Monday

Yup, that's me jammed in the corner of the couch next to Mom. She's actually resting her elbow on my back, and that's fine with me.

She's been working on the tippy tappy lapbox for most of the last week and I've been right here next to her, napping and purring.

Our big snow from Saturday has melted quite a lot already, and should melt a lot more in the next few days. At least, Mom hopes so.

April Fool's

I would love to be able to tell you that this is all an elaborate joke.

I'd like to be able to say that these pictures were taken another time.

Maybe last month, or two years ago, but they were all taken this morning.

This year, the April Fool's Day joke is on us.

I am sure Mother Nature is laughing.

Truthful Thursday

It is getting warmer out. Today is supposed to be pretty nice, so I asked Mom to let me out on the front porch for a little while this morning.

HOWEVER... In typical New England fashion, we are supposed to get a (gasp!) snowstorm on Friday and into Saturday. We could get 1 to 3 inches or even up to a foot of the damn white stuff before the storm goes away on Saturday afternoon.

What an April Fool joke that will be!

The Infernal Taxes

Mom sat down last night and did her taxes. She is feeling very smug about it. 

Dunno why.

Tuesday Two Step

The snow is melting. It rained yesterday, and is gonna be pretty gloomy today too. I want sunshine.

Friday

The snow is melting, but the weather has been very very cold the last few days, so it isn't melting fast enough for Mom. The temperatures should be getting back to normal soon so there's hope it will go away fast.

I am fine. Last Sunday Mom cleaned the house, and I mean CLEANED. She dragged the rug sucking monster all over the house and washed all my pillows, blankets and quilts. So I have been working diligently to recover all that stuff with my furs.

It's a tough job, but I like doing it.

It's Melting!

It's Melting! It's Spring.

Thank goodness!

Thursday Things

We all know I rock the whole Tuxedo (black and white) thing. But I think I rock the red and white thing pretty well too!

So how much snow did we get? A whole lot. Maybe 18" or so (41cm). Mom says it will melt quick, but I think she's hoping. It's a lot colder than it usually is in March.

Happy Birthday Rubylocks!

Happy Birthday, dear Rubylocks!

(And Happy Birthday to Rubylocks's mother, too. They share the same birthday.)

Snowstorm Stella with Update 2

As everybody on the planet knows, we are having a big snowstorm called "Stella." It is a nor'easter, and could be a blizzard. Both are very specific things, and you can look them up. (I've even given you the links.)  

this is out the front window at 8 AM Tuesday

We are supposed to have between 18-24" of snow. That's 45 -61 cm for my Aussie and Kiwi pals. Mom has stayed home, because driving will be dangerous. It wasn't snowing when Mom got up to look at 5 AM, but these two photos were taken just after 8 AM, and you can see it has barely started. (Mom went back to bed.) I'll post updates throughout the day. See you later!

this is the view out back at 8 AM Tuesday

Update from 10:20 AM

This photo was taken about 10:20 AM Tuesday.

This is the view out back around 10:20 AM Tuesday. It isn't snowing all that hard yet.

Update 2 at 1:25 PM

It's really snowing hard now, and the wind is picking up.

The view out back.

Millie Monday

It's Monday.

It was WARM in California. I am not sure why we came back to chilly New Hampster. We are supposed to have a nor'easter tomorrow into Wednesday leaving a ton of snow. Bleh.

AND I hacked up a ginormous hairball last night and I feel miserable. I have been napping near Mom so I can get as many scritches as I can.

Is it Spring yet?

What's Up?

You know what it means when I put on this outfit, right?

but I have to go through all that to get this:

I'd tell you this is as good as it gets, but I might be lying.  It's still pretty good though.

Mom is pretty excited though. She gave Little Miss this picture book that belonged to Mr Karate and got this fun photo.

Ain't Gonna Be No When When

Two weeks ago, it looked like this out behind our house.  Lots, and lots of snow.

Yesterday, after two days where the temperature went up to the mid 60's and up into the low 70's (18 to 21C), this is what is left.

It was so warm Mom opened the door to the front porch and left it open all afternoon. She had other windows open too.  In fact, it was 68F here in New Hampster, and it was 48F in the City of Angels in Catifornia.  Very, very unusual for February.

This is the front garden, seen from our front porch. Not a lot of snow.

Not that I am complaining, really, but it does mean there won't be a When When Contest this year. Mom thinks this snow will all be gone in less than a week, as the daytime temperatures will be well above freezing for the next five days.

I guess I'll have to find something else to do.

Little Miss at Six Months

Holy Toledo! Little Miss is six months old! Look how much she has grown!

Isn't she just a cutie patootie? AND LOOKIT!  She has kitties on her jumpsuit! I knew I loved this little girl.
