Damn it’s still cold here today! I’m trying to be green and not turn up the heat but I’m freezing. Nutmeg keeps stomping in and giving me these looks. She likes to sleep on the vent at the bottom of the back stairs and I think she wants me to go and turn up the heat for her. Don got me a really nice space heater for my studio so when it’s on I’m nice and toasty. Unfortunately, I don’t have it on so I’m starting to turn blue.
I was eating lunch today and saw this huge pigeon land in a neighbor’s tree. Only it was a HAWK!!! We’ve lived here for 17 years and I’ve seen a total of 3 hawks. It’s just not something we have a lot of on the north side of Chicago. We have a big bush in the back yard that’s always full of twittering birdies and it was verrrrrry quiet for a while. Smart birdies.
Fuzz and Mookie were vying(?) for the bowl. There’s what started as a little pyramid for the cats to sleep in out there. Fuzz didn’t like being inside it so would always push the top down into the bottom. It looks like a big cat bowl. I’ve got polar fleece in it and I can wrap whoever’s in it up like a big burrito. Fuzz was in it waiting for breakfast and Mookie was on the ’step’ for it waiting for Fuzz to move. Mookie can’t do the jump into it anymore so we put the little charcoal storage containers like steps up to it. Spoiled strays? Nah…This is Fuzz from last year. He’s such a cutie pie! I wish we would’ve found him as a baby because he’d be in with us for sure. He hates even coming inside to warm his paws now.
Isn’t he a cutie!? Wish him luck to make it through the winter, OK?
