I wish that amaryllis held their bloom longer and that I could succeed in encouraging re-bloom. The cats are all utterly spoiled and they know it--to their advantage!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-63336844343494909302018-01-19T20:45:34.313-05:002018-01-19T20:45:34.313-05:00Jennie; We can't deny the stray cats a meal or...Jennie; We can't deny the stray cats a meal or two, especially in cold weather. When we didn't see Crumple for months I was relieved to think that he had permanently gone away. I was able to stroke him a bit today when putting down kibble, although we were both wary---i sensed that he might turn and swat me.

Our cat ran out in the snow last week, got her feet wet and immediately ran back in.

I have just upgraded the cat-box with bed in at the front porch (for Miffy) and she now has use of my Janome sewing machine box, which keeps the wind off whilst she chooses to linger at the front door - in hope of more food! We have two strays coming for food - one very like Crumple, but just called the Big Black Tom, and little Felix who I think can be less than a year old. <br /><br />We used to have an outside thermometer, but now we just have an inside one in the kitchen which never tells me a temperature in there I am happy with! Despite the Hergom being on, the room wants to linger on the wrong side of 60 most cold winter days!<br /><br />How pretty snow always looks, and as you rightly say, once you are retired there is no pressing need to have to go out in it, which means you can enjoy it far more from a warm house!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
