Arctic Blast On the Way!

We are really in for some cold weather, at least for our part of the country. Lows for the next several nights into the low 20's and possibly upper teens for Saturday morning. I've been outside reconstructing the shelter for the stray kitties that live in my back yard. Although I'm pretty sure they spend their nights under the house, which is on stilts, at least they have a windbreak with lots of blankets and cushions in case they venture out. I'll fine tune the shelter tomorrow, but for tonight, it should be fine. I'd bring them inside, but my three indoor kitties would raise objections.

Deep Freeze in the Deep South

Okay, so it's not reallly a DEEP freeze, but it's cold enough to form a layer of ice on my bird bath. My smart kitty, Dahlia, had enough sense to walk gingerly on the ice, causing it to crack enough to allow some water through, which she promptly drank. Never mind that I have water outside the back door for her.
