WINTER HERE TO STAY?

Hey Pals,

Well it looks like the normal Iowa winter is here for a while now.  It has been horribly cold since the last snow storm and it's only -1 degrees right now not counting the wind chill factor.  We have another snow storm on it's way.  We're supposed to get another 4-6 inches of snow tomorrow, uggggggh!  Our tootsies are going to freeze when we go outside to potty.

The bambi are sleeping on our land more, they like to curl up in our bushy areas to get out of the wind.  There were at least 2 dozen deer out there this morning.  We got pictures of a few of them.  It's hard to get a good photo with all of those darn bush branches in the way.










The open area on our largest pond is almost closed up now with these below zero temperatures.  The ice isn't very thick yet, so the deer walked around the opening, but didn't get close enough for a drink.  Think they figured out they might fall through.  They've been there done that before!





Our girlie cat Hootie is smart, she lays in a sun spot with the fireplace behind her to keep warm!





I think Sparky & I should find a nice sunny spot to go lay in and take a nappy!

Wirey Hugs, Purrz & Licks,
Katie, Sparky, Ruby, Sylvester, Scuby, Hootie & Zeek

Now you take good care of yourself in that snowy weather, Katie dear. I don't want to think of your pretty little paws suffering frostbite.
Toodle pip!

Wowser...that sounds COLD! But we know your Mama will make sure y'all are nice and cozy. We think the deer are pretty smart to pick your land to snooze on.

Mumsie can't believe that is the same pond that she stood by last summer!! And that storm they promised us is starting now...it's supposed to ice and snow and just generally be miserable tomorrow...yeesch.

Now, Katie...of course I will give you MOUSE LESSONS. I will send Stanley directly to flush them out and then you can catch them. Just don't let Mumsie come out there to rescue them. Sheesch. We're gonna go find that kid she released and challenge him to a poker game tonight!!

Kisses,

Miss Lacie Teacakes
