Perfect Winter Day

Mrrrrr Friends,

It was getting bleak out here.

But I had hope. And that hope was rewarded this morning with a big flaking, wet, wonderful snow! It was weighing down many of the tree branches and was coming down in big lopsided flakes when we first got up in the morning.

I declared it a snow day and made plans to keep Oom out all day. 

She lagged behind a bit. It was a little annoying.

But we went down to my brook. We found some interesting tracks there...mink?

They had been snowed on a lot so the picture wasn't good...but here's the brook all snowy.

I frolicked a bit. I was gonna climb that ash tree but then a big plop of snow came down on me!

The view of the house from our wetland was very nice too.

By this point we'd been out a cat's age and I was wet from my ears to my tail...and I had snow burrs all over my tummy. The snow was right up at that height and since it was so wet, it stuck! It was time to grab a snowshoe and get a ride.

It was one of those rare days when I was ready to go in when Oom was.

We snuck out later to try to make a snow cat...but it looks more like a snow lemur. I was trying to get Alex to sit in the window and pose, but she was having nothing to do with it. We need to work on this.
