Snow, snow, snow

We are preparing mom to go take pikshers of all da snow we gots...yes, we're snowed in. No, we're not really unhappy. Unlike some (look here) we is safe, warm and haf lots of food. Mom's baking cookies and dad is sitting in da recliner wif a blankie on his legs fur us to lay on...after da wind dies down he will go get da snow blower and clear da driveway and sidewalks. She stuck the camera out the back door (which she couldn't open very far) and snapped this...

The boy, Nick, who is taking such good care of da colony called mom at 10 this morning and said he and his brother had shoveled a path to the feeding station and while they were there had to clear the entrances to the shelters and that all the kitties were packed in there and were really happy to see them! He said it was so warm in the shelters they took their gloves off and put their hands inside to warm them up! Then they cleared the area between the shelters and the feeders and filled the buckets, checked the water dishes and the power stations and were planning on going back later in the afternoon to make sure it was all still clear. They all go to school there and live thru the woods behind the school. He called mom so she wouldn't try to drive thru the blizzard to check on the kitties and get stuck or worse. After mom hung up from talking to him she told dad, with tears in her eyes, that he is the sweetest young man she has ever met. He also told mom that he and his girlfriend were taking her younger brother and his brothers and sisters to the sled hill in the park for some fun, since they is all off school...
