I've made a list of things to do before Christmas and I'm checking things off as I go. I've always been a list girl and never leave home without one. Christmas cards are done and shopping and baking have begun so I feel things are rolling along at a good pace. Saying that, I know I'll still be doing last minute things on Christmas eve. :-b
I do believe Simon has gone to bed for now but I still put a bit of food out for him each day. The crows clean it up if he does not make an appearance. Thank you to all who have written with info on the life of a chipmunk. I learned a lot about them and know now that he will wake up periodically throughout our long and cold winter to feast on the food he has stored away. I'm picturing this guys 'pantry' as one that is bulging at the seams.
And I know that the raccoon appreciates his little snack each night as there is not a crumb left by morning.
It's a dark day today but much milder than last week. Not a sign of snow yet in our area.
That is so odd for this time of year but I'm not complaining. When it does come it stays a very long time.
I'm afraid if she was to become an out-door cat there would not be a bird left here.
I have left Kane's blanket on the floor for the cats to sleep on. You will find Annie there much of the day snoozing in front of the heater. She misses her old dog and the wood stove.
She had some fun today with a new fox doll I added to my winter critters. I bought two; one for grandittle Gwynn and one for me. She named her's Sally and mine is named Daisy. ;-)
She makes a nice addition to my fox collection.
I hope you are having fun with your Christmas preparations. I find the lack of snow and ice on our roads makes for great shopping. And if we don't see snow 'til Christmas eve that's just fine with me.
hugs, Deb

Audrey loves to watch the crows from the mouse-house window.
Then she heads down to the garage to watch the birds at the back from her cat tree.

She is getting along fine, though.
She loves to play with her wool ball; yelling while tossing it around the mouse-house.
Then she drops and rolls. :)
