Jack came by; he does beautiful work. It was nine below zero this morning, and during the day in the teens, with excessive wind yesterday - we kept exclaiming about it at work, with people coming and going through the staff door (naturally!), and the howling and blowing outside.
January, on the other hand, was so temperate that we didn't need a "January thaw". It was never below freezing during the day, all month long. I'll try not to complain about the lack of appreciable snow, since we may well get clobbered. We have plenty of time for that! But it isn't like our usual winters.
Daisy is scheduled to be spayed on March 20, and she is uncomfortable in the meantime. She goes through periods (no pun intended!) of crying, squirming, distraction, not eating because she can't seem to focus. Until finally she gets so tired and can sleep for a while. Annie puts up with her as best she can.
It seems that Annie's lot in life is to play second fiddle; she is a stoic, if not by nature, then by circumstance. I often wonder how she feels about it.
She is a nice cat.
What homey, wonderful photos! I hope the time for Daisy passes quickly.
ReplyDeletePoor cats! I am sure that life for both of them (and you and Marc) will be easier once Daisy has been spayed.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, as always. We have had lots of frosts, freezing fog and ice but no snow this winter. There was a hoar frost this morning with thick fog which lasted until midday when the sun appeared and all the frost disappeared. Such a beautiful afternoon with blue sky and hardly a cloud to be seen. I was at my mother's house drinking tea, chatting and reminiscing and sometimes wishing I could be outside enjoying the (almost) spring-like weather. :)
She is over her current antsy spell; they seem to get more intense each time. :D
