First snow of the 2010-11 winter

We got our first snow today.  Just enough to cover the grass but not the driveway.  It rained first and then snowed, so it was very good moisture, which we needed.  I had planned to be at Alyxis's 9th birthday party tonight, but decided not to make the long drive as coming home might not have been to much fun once everything freezes.  So, instead, the kitties and I are having a nice relaxing day.  

Hops - Hanging out on a snowy Saturday

We watched the Badgers win big and then got a big dose of HGTV.  

Always fun to get a new idea or two from watching those remodeling shows.

I have a new suet feeder for this winter.  Today the woodpeckers found it and gave it a try.

This Downy has figured out how to use the feeder.

Resting Up, but for what?

The cats just love it when the sun shines in the living room.

I am ever amazed at the solar heat that comes in, allowing for the interior door to be open, even with single digit temperatures out of doors.

Hops prefers more padding, so she often chooses the couch.

Barley can get some rays while resting on the top layer of the cat condo. She watches the neighborhood closely.

Monitoring the birds, squirrels and humans in the neighborhood wears Barley out.

I'm sure they will feel perkier at about 4am.
