Merry Day After

Christmas here was fun. I am not very big on toys for me, but I still had lots of fun with the wrappings, curling ribbons, and being allowed in the Tree Room. My people had a delicious roast beast for dinner and enjoyed having my human sister here (me too!). She got a great new camera and this picture is taken by her as guest photographer. Today is "recovery day". Hope everycat (and doggie) had wonderful feasts and toys and was just able to be warm inside with their humans.

Joy and Peace

This lovely Nativity was a gift to my Mom and Dad from my Mom's sister. We all think it is very beautiful. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, family gatherings, yummy meals, and Santa presents, may the true Joy and Peace of Christmas find a place in all our hearts. And may real peace come to all the Earth.

Anticipating

Hey! You there, human beans, this tree is looking very empty underneath. When is "Santa" going to be coming? Enough already with the waiting!

Wildlife in the Snow

We had a wonderful snow on Saturday night. We had some deer hanging out for a little while. The deer were actually on top of our leaf pile, so their legs were sinking into the snow and leaves. The snow was about a foot deep. We think they slept there because it was warmer than the ground.


Dad cleared a path around the edge of the deck and put some seed down for the birds. You can see how carefully I am watching this dove.

Cute little Candian Sparrow who came too.


I think this is a Hairy Woodpecker but I get confused between the different types. Looks like we will have a white Christmas this year!

Good Wishful Hunting

In honor of Hunt Week, I give you this picture taken yesterday that shows me watching the little birds that came to our deck when Dad put some birdseed down. Notice I was very careful to hunker down, so I don't think they saw me. I wish I could have gotten a little closer to them..............

Later today I hope I can post some more bird pictures with them in the snow. We have lots of it!

Whapping on Wednesday

Here is a picture of me whapping a couple of the ornaments on our tree. I am usually pretty good about leaving them alone, but I got excited with Mom trying to get a picture of the tree with me in it (in the picture, not in the tree, silly!). They mostly put the unbreakable whappable ones near the bottom, but I liked the shiny ones better. Luckily I stopped before anything fell down. But if you looks closely, you see a couple of the ornaments are blurred because they were MOVING FAST!

Mom still can't get a good picture of the whole tree - if she uses the flash, the lights don't show, but without the flash, it gets out of focus. So I will have to make her try AGAIN.

Helping

I had to help the Mom and the Dad to trim the tree yesterday, otherwise they never would have gotten it done. As it is, the photos Mom took of the final thing are not very good so I will wait to show you the whole tree on another day. But this picture just proves how much help I was. They store a lot of the decorations in green and red boxes, which means they don't have a very good excuse if they say they cannot find some of them. Duh - the colors say it pretty clearly!

Easy on Sunday

No matter how small my Mom and Dad fold up this blanket, I still like to sleep on it, even if I spill over the edges.
Happy Sunday!

Christmas Trees on Thursday

I had hoped to be able to show you a decorated tree in the house today, but Dad still has not brought our tree in from the garage, where he has it in a bucket and is giving it big drinks of water to be sure it isn't too thirsty when it gets inside. But Mom said I could post these pictures frm the farm where they went on Sunday to choose the tree. I am glad I didn't have to go with them and freeze my feets in all that snow. But they said it was a very pretty scene.
