Another Rainy Day

Winter in Kentucky this year has been mostly about rainy days.
Recalling last summer's fairly severe drought, I can only hope that there is a carry-over effect of the ample moisture being bestowed upon us in the past several months.
Today's photos may have an element of deja vu--the big boy 'kittens' relish the aftermath of every rainfall and were quite the brightest elements of a grey morning landscape.

Nellie stirs the puddle.


What with fresh puddles and the endless up-earthings of moles to explore, the 'boys' spent a happy half hour in the sodden yard, before coming indoors to dry off on clean bedspreads. [Sigh]

Edward carrying a prize fished out of the puddle.
I intercepted him and found he was carrying a leafy cocoon--looks like remnants of a 'bagworm' wintered over.  I didn't allow him to bring it indoors.

This was the outlook early on Saturday morning.
We've had only the lightest dustings of snow all winter.
This disappeared in a few hours.
Our weeks of gloomy weather have made for less walking along the edges of the fields--too muddy for a pleasant stroll, thus many more hours than usual to stay inside and sew or read.

  4. I agree - may cats would have rather died than get in the water! I guess with so much rain they've just had to get used to it! Love the dusting of snow picture. x

  5. We have had a dry spell too but a little rain this morning (plants need it) and apparently heavy rain is due tomorrow.

    I had to smile at the boys playing in the puddles!!! I wonder if there is some Maine Coone in them as Honey, our MC, didn't mind water and the MCs a friend has used to go in the shower with her when they were kittens. Lovely photos.

    You will smile when I tell you that Theo is always out trying to fish the pond. I came down the other morning to find he had been successful, and a very dead goldfish was laid lovingly in his bed . . .

  7. I know what you mean about muddy paws on clean bedspreads - cats and dogs.
