The Party's Over

The party's over...

the sun has retreated once again.

See the grayness in the air above?

Yes, that's snow.

Again.

Just a shower...but a hint of what's to come, I hear.

Today I have a few small things to share with you...

just little moments that make me smile on any given...

or every given day.

Barn kitties....a constant source of sweetness!

Our four barn cats are all chubby, cuddly balls of fluff...

friendly to us always...

to each other usually, but not always.

Leo and TomTom are best buds.

They play together...

 and sleep together.

TomTom is very caring and nurturing towards Leo...

gently bathing him...

Oh, so sweet....

Ella Bella... always has a scowl on her face.

The other cats leave her alone.

She loves attention from us, but prefers that the other felines leave her alone.

She is, after all, the queen of the barn.

Moll Flanders...the impossible to photograph cat...

never has her eyes open in any photo...

never holds still long enough for a good picture...

Gets picked on by Ella Bella...unmercifully,

so she hangs out with our barn chicken, Ivanka.

Ivanka is Moll's chicken.

These four sweet cats routinely earn their keep...

ridding the barn of all manner of pests 

and providing me with company during all my barn chores.
