Snowy Acres

 We had 14 cm snow, and it is snowing again today, Sunday. Everything needed to be cleaned off! 


I did the sidewalk in between an Olympic event. It was with great excitement that I spotted tracks on the step.


I finished shoveling and went back in to check the Crumbly Acres camera.

I followed them and they came from around the house. Then disappeared on the front deck. That was suspicious. 

Turns out Cinnamon was outside, and Joe let him in just as he was going to bed at 10 pm. He likes to hunt mice in the garage and I must have forgotten I'd let him out.  


After another Olympic event, I went out to do the driveway. My precious snowblower!!!!



The propane truck came before I'd gotten this done. He was stuck on our hill, here, and threw some sand down. It really helped!


In the afternoon I did the back deck: 

I snuggled down and Cinnamon sat on my lap. Nutmeg is not a lap cat! She sleeps in her own bed on the chair.

 

Our Ottawa grandies and JL, my SIL, went to the hills!

Aster and Jordan shared with Papa, I am sure!

    There are lots of local barn cats and so we do not see many rabbits at all. But we do have deer and turkeys, the latter on a regular round that brings them here every few days.
    Propane!!! People have been using it at such a rate that our local delivery system is struggling to keep up and, yes, getting stuck. We got about the same amount of snow and spent yesterday morning clearing it. But the local snowmobile club was happy.

    Look at those cute cats and grandies! It has been heroic tropical rain here, but we are enjoying some sun today. Hope you do too. Aloha!

    You will be in great condition after shovelling all this snow. No wonder the kids have such big smiles with all this snow.

    Was the Olympic event hockey? Sad for Canada but well fought, both men's and women's finals.
    My daughter's cat has a niche in a rock pile close to the house.

    Those are awful big footprints so close to your house. Don't let the big bad wolf in! The kids look like they're at the Olympics! Be careful out there! Linda in Kansas
