For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning and Happy Sunday everyone! Oh my, another cold morning following yesterday’s cold day. It did get up to -10F (-23C) though, so it was, um, still cold. But there was not really any wind, so that part was nice. Still too cold for me though. It normally is not quite this cold in February, but it does happen. Except for feeding the birds I just stayed inside. Muffin enjoyed her spot in the sunshine for her afternoon nap. I would like to have shared it with her, but it just was not big enough for both of us.
Besides, lying down on top of the TV cabinet just would not work out too well anyway. So I opted for my bed and a nice wool blanket for my nap. What else is there to do when it is this cold? The window is so frosted again that Muffin and I cannot even see the birds right now. Jasper did not show up today either, guess he figured it was warmer at home too.
I have not seen Garnet for a while now, not even playing in the trees when it was milder for a couple of days. I wonder if the neighbor’s dog finally caught him? He has been trying ever since they moved in to the house. Apparently he is very good at catching squirrels and chipmunks. So between the dog and the cat I guess I will not have any chipmunks around for very long this summer. At least I will still have my gulls for company anyway.
On one of the days the window was frost free last week, the dog spotted Muffin in the window and started jumping and barking loudly at her. She did not like that at all. Now she is scared of him. She was okay with him at the start, but that barking was just too much. In keeping with the cold weather, or maybe not, we have some more bright flowers to share once again. It is necessary on these cold days to be reminded that we do get summer too! Well, thank you for joining us again this morning, have a beautiful, sunny Sunday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Yes, it’s a good thing Jasper is from the back, right now the snow is too deep for the dog to go back that way.

Yes, a little snow tonight, much more snow on Tuesday! I’m glad the Muffin doesn’t go outside, she is only an inside cat, too much danger around here with wolves and coyotes, they come into town all the time and kill cats and smaller dogs. So it’s best to keep her inside. Yes, I like to look at pictures of our summer flowers when it gets cold like this! Helps me think of warmer days ahead. I hope you have a beautiful day!ππ»πββββπΊππ¦π¦π¨
