Finally Friday here. Minus one and it is pushing 7am. The wind chill is putting us in the minus double digits and everything around here is closed. Cal got the call before he even got back to the terminal yesterday afternoon..well, they called his aide since he was driving. A lot of schools closed for today yesterday. I have not fed any of the critters yet. I put more blankets on the cat house on the deck last night., they wanted in the garage but I can't let a bunch of cats in there...not fond of the smell of tom cat and I am sure It would come with them. They can go into the barn but seem to prefer the deck. Mort stays out front or in the barn. Hope the old boy stays in the barn with the girls that live there. Whisper will get her bucket of hot water as usual. Cal just said it isn't that bad at only minus one and I said he could do barn chores. He declined. Such a hot weather lover. I can't stand humidity and he doesn't deal well with cold.
There are days when moving to a warmer place sounds lovely. James, my youngest, sent me a picture he took while eating his lunch the other day. He was sitting in his truck, taking a break from his tree work, and overlooking green grass, palm trees and the ocean. Sounds delightful and there are ten acre zoned farm lots available there . Yet how would I leave my critters? How could I afford six month quarantine for all of them and then shipping? Ah, well, Spring is coming.
Hope everyone has a good weekend and that the people on the east coast don't get buried in snow.
