For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning everyone! Well, it is another cloudy day and a bit colder as well. The temp was 7F (-14C) this morning, with a very strong wind making it feel much colder. Muffin and I had a good playtime this morning and she is now having her morning nap. She played during the night as well, especially with her new snake toy.
She loves playing with that thing and then she carries it around in her mouth meowing very loudly. Hopefully that will not disturb anyone, but just to be on the safe side, I think that toy will get put away at night. She likes playing with her mice at night too so she will not miss one toy. Time for another cup of coffee.

There we go, that is much better. I think coffee is good anytime, even on a hot summer day, but it just seems to go extra well on cold winter days. Delicious. The only birds I have seen today were 2 pigeons flying past the building. Pigeons and ravens are about the only birds I see around here now, not very exciting. Oh well.
I really do miss feeding the birds, they always brightened up the winter landscape. It was also a good excuse to go outside for a while, even on the coldest of days. On a day like today, it is hard to convince myself to go outside, even for a short time. I have lots to do inside today anyway. I have to do more dusting today, and some cleaning.

And perhaps start to make my new laptop table, I need something better than what I am using. I was going to do this a long time ago, but other things keep getting in the way. I might possibly need to buy a few things for that little table however. It is nice having my kitchen table finished now so I can actually use it.

A bit more snow on this side of the river, about 4 inches (10cm)
Hmm, I should start baking some cookies, a person can never have too many cookies around. Today, though, I think it will be cupcakes, but perhaps a different flavor this time. Or not. Hmm, I see it is snowing again and it has warmed up to 10F (-12C) and still very windy. Well, I should close and get baking. Have a wonderful day everyone and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

I LOVE the snow covered shores! Such beauty should not be wasted only on Canadians! Send some to Kentucky and waste it on us.π€ π

Nicely written! I wish I could play more with Fifi, this little rascal always bites me when I go to pet him. He only wants attention so he can get more treats. π

I had a cat like that once too. Maybe that is just his way of playing! And getting treats.ππ»π
