Aww, C'mon Now!

I think there are a lot of us who feel this way.

Am tired of wearing my puffer coat, and how a hat smushes my hair.

Of having to wrap a scarf around my face in order to breath when outside.

Our snow shovels have rounded edges now, from being worn away on the sidewalks and driveway.

Explosions and Quakes

Continuing on a theme:

Just a few more days to February!!!

The temps are well below average here, and a fair amount of snow too.

We also have both exploding trees (the sap expands in the cold, shredding the tree), and frost quakes or cryoseisms, (frozen ground cracks during rapid temperature drops, often with loud booms, and vibrations through the earth).

Eastside Cats' antique home has huge icicles hanging in a few locations, and these are not good news.

Weatherguessers give us at least another seven days in the bitter cold, yet we have it better than those who have lost power or had property destroyed by falling branches/trees due to ice, broken water mains flooding houses and streets, and ice jams on rivers, pushing water into more housing.

Stay safe out there, folks, and these sillies are just yucks to get us through it.

Let's Hop!

Last Day

The last day of Winter, means it's nearly time for the Vernal Equinox...and time for some Stonehenge re-creations.

These just crack me up!

How The PO'M Felt About Winter

It's PO'Monday!

Celestial Paddy O'Malley, showing his thoughts in December, 2020:

Blep!

Pffft!

Neener neener neener!

😹😹😹

Oh, The Cold!

As mentioned in yesterday's post, I am not a fan of Winter...and technically, it's not even here yet!

Perhaps worrying about The 'O' Cats for a decade pushed me farther into disliking cold and snow...?

Yet, I can pinpoint when I went from a kid growing up in Michigan (known as The Winter Wonderland), and dealing with the season, to an disgruntled denizen of The North.

That was a vacation visit to Florida one February.

Yep, I was spoiled from that point on.

The Hubby and I aren't moving any place warm, any time soon...unfortunately...so I found some terrific hoodies to keep me warm.

Went overboard a bit, as I was entranced with the plethora of fabulous black cat images.

Email me if you'd like information about the hoodies: on the right-hand column, down a bit, is a 'Contact Eastside Cats' form.

Happy To See Sly!

I try to walk the neighborhood each evening, yet it's been difficult with the amount of snow and ice that we've accumulated recently.  Yesterday, however, I got out there, even walking in the street part of the time to avoid slipping, and image my delight and joy to see Sly!  I was so excited, that my photo is not level, but his glorious fur and green eyes are looking fantastic.  He's a floof-monster!

Please sends purrs to Wally at The Island Cats.  The lady with the yellow hair is very, very worried.
