Winter Images and A Little Helper.

We have the most beautiful snow these last few days and I just had to share it with you!

And while I was out taking pictures I had a little helper purring steadily by my side.

He was soon distracted by a chickadee but none the less stayed by me purring the whole time!

I've never had such a friendly devoted LOUD cat as my little Frosty!  I can hear him talking as he crosses the yard to meet me and then his purrs are like some loud engine constantly running.  He also LOVES the snow and will catch snowballs that I throw to him.  Who needs a dog when I have a cat like Frosty?!

Gardens and Garden Helper

I've mentioned before that Daylilies are my favourtie flowers in my garden and each day I have a new one opening.  This is one of the special varieties from Prince Edward Island that my DH took me to for my birthday and told me to pick out whatever I wanted!

This is another PEI Daylily that I think is called Gunmetal.  Different, but pretty!

The year that we bought this house my parents bought me a crab apple tree to plant in the garden.  It is just loaded with little red apples this year!

Finally, my little garden helper!  I had to take a lot of pictures of Frosty and couldn't get him to stay still until I finally snapped this one!  It's like he's saying "Alright already!  Enough with the picture taking and pet me!!"

First Snow... A Nor'easter!

After a really unusual warm Fall, Winter has blown in.  On Saturday we experienced our first snowstorm... a Nor'easter.  The trees were coated in a light fluffy snow... very pretty, but what's to come?

Today the sun is shining, the sky is blue, life continues on.

I brought Piggy outside to see what he thinks of his first snow.  He wasn't thrilled with it, but he enjoyed it.  Especially when Frosty got in on the action.  If you remember last year was Frosty's first snow and he LOVED it!  Below are some action shots of us playing in it today.

 

 

Thank you so much to everybody who left such kind words for me and my devastating news.  Piggy is doing fine and is enjoying the extra attention but I still worry about him.  Again, thank you everybody.

Frosty Morning

It was a beautiful frosty morning when I got up this morning. Very strange to see all the frost and still have fog obscuring my view across the valley.
A doe was browsing for food down by the creek. I hope she keeps safe from all the hunters out there.Two little kitties curled up in their bed.
Opps, I've been spotted!
A big fat blue jay flew in and drew their attention away from me.
Just look at those blue eyes! I don't know why his eyes haven't changed to green like his brothers? Ahhh.... the life of a cat.

Visitor

Some of you readers might remember my story of finding a little kitten sopping wet, injured and crying on my doorstep last summer. Well, before I found Wycket I caught a glimpse of another kitten that I was sure was a litter mate of Wycket and since I have always wondered what happened to him/her. Well yesterday I finally found out! Looking in my back door was his brother!He quickly ran away but luckily the one and only picture I snapped of him turned out beautifully! Isn't he just the most handsome cat?

A few days ago I also captured the above picture of Frosty and an unsuspecting squirrel. Or maybe he was just a confident little squirrel since Frosty didn't catch him! Whenever I see this picture I automatically see the title "The Stand Off".
