Snow Day! :)

Yippee!  So as everyone else snoozes, I can dig up a couple of old pics to share and maybe ramble a bit of silliness...

Took this shot of the frost on our living room window a couple of years ago, got it on the local news too (hee-hee)!  It's frosty like that again this morning.  We probably should install a new more efficient window, but I LOVE to look at the patterns in the frost! 

It's like a magical fairyland where all is beautiful, although cold!  I can gaze into the swirling frosty fronds and go to Narnia, have tea with Mr. Tumnus, visit Mr. & Mrs. Beaver, maybe even have a chat with Aslan...  Or slip into some other imaginary world just a lovely.  Jack Frost creates beauty on my window that far surpasses any of my artistic abilities.  My frosty window is one of the few things I actually enjoy during these bitterly cold days!  (Well, besides curling up with a fun book.)

Then again there are the squirrels...


I do love watching our squirrels.  We toss out all sorts of things to keep them plump during the winter.  It's fun to watch them hide things in the spruce trees for later, (in hopes that the blue jays won't find them first!)  Of course Crazy Dog loves to "hunt" for the chubbies when she's not too busy trying to find her football in the snow...but we'll save her adventures for another post someday, unlike me she loves every minute in the snow!

Me thinks he doth protest too much!

Lately Queen Cat has decided to become Daddy's girl...  As he sits comfortably in his lazy boy, (whilst exercising his thumb on the remote control), she often leaps onto his lap and proceeds to love-up "Daddy" as well as his throne!  Of course my Curmudgeon, (aka: Daddy), blusters and complains about this "damned cat"!  But as this photo will show, indisputable evidence that he is also scratching her royal highness, and do I see a hint of a smile on the old man's lips?  You be the judge:


The snow is actually quite lovely, (now that I know I don't have to drive in it today), maybe we'll get enough to take down the snowshoes and take a romp?  Be safe and warm, don't forget the cocoa!
