The Weather Channel says it’s 31 and feels like 27. AccuWeather says it’s 33 and feels like
24. It looks like it will be a white
Christmas after all here in Rochester.

| My back yard this morning |
The roads are mostly clear, but there are some icy spots on the side
streets. Eric, of course, found those
with the Buick this morning when he did a “donut” in the parking lot beside his
big truck when I dropped him off for work.
He heads out early Sunday morning and should be back sometime on Christmas
Eve (tomorrow).
There were icy spots on the front steps and walk this
morning, too, so I took care of those when I got back by spreading some salt
around. As I tossed salt out, beside me
on the lawn, Seraphina sat happily munching on her Critter Crunch. The birds
were happy, too. I put out some old hotdog rolls all crumbled up last
evening. This morning I put out some
seed left over from our inside finch and lovebird. Then I went out and added some wild birdfood
to the feeders. Everyone is busy filling
their tummies as I write.

I love Winter, but it’s a hard life for little critters. I
can’t imagine being a little bird or a squirrel and trying to stay warm in a
storm. Some of my critters don’t seem to mind, though. I have to practically beg Chase to come
inside from the garage. He loves to sit
in the back doorway and watch the backyard birds through the screen. I think he only comes in for the tooties (cat
treats) he gets.

So, as we wind on down to Christmas, stay warm, everyone. Keep those you love close. Enjoy the snow, and don’t eat too
many tooties.
