A path for Forrest

I'm pooped from shoveling out a path, once again, at the back of the property. Our tractor blows out a good portion of it and then I get my exercise by continuing further.



Our grand-dog, Forrest, comes for the weekend and he will appreciate all my work so he can have a long path to run.

He will run to the back, around the wood-lot and back to the mouse-house; his tongue hanging out and a goofy smile on his face. He'll do that every chance he gets.


I haven't told the cats yet but I think they may know something.

"Aw, geesh..."
I'd better stock up on cat treats.

There is no end to shoveling around the feeders.





My chickadees were first to the new platform feeder I hung for the birds today. It's much bigger than the one that was there so... more room, more birds.

This little downy woodpecker prefers the last of the suet.




The sun is glorious today and it is calm and quiet. It's a day to find any excuse to be outside. Maybe I'll have some green tea and head back out.

                                                                          =^..^=


Ever wonder what age your cat is in human years?
Here's a chart that will answer that question.

Cat Age...........................Human Age

6 months........................10 years
1 year...............................15 years
2 years............................24 years
4 years............................32 years
6 years............................40 years
8 years............................48 years
10 years...........................56 years
12 years...........................64 years
14 years...........................72 years
16 years...........................80 years
18 years...........................88 years
20 years...........................96 years
21 years..........................100 years

"Happy St. Paddy's Day" to all.

hugs, Deb

  5. The snow pics are so pretty, but glad it's not here. We are enjoying beautiful spring weather at the moment. Thanks for the cat years chart. I have one around here somewhere. At this point, our cats and I are about the same age...

  7. Shoveling snow is very hard work even if a plow has broken the path! Be careful--take plenty of tea breaks.

  8. We had sun also today, it felt good to be outside for a bit. It was still very cold. I couldn't get to the feeder, the snow was too deep there so I scattered seed on the ground. And I saw 2 red cardinals, haven't seen them in a looooong while!!

  9. You are a kind pet-Gramma, Deb! I can just picture Forrest racing around and around while Annie and Audrey watch from the window with disdain :) I need one of those platform feeders. My old cat, Maggie is 88 years old! Thank you for your kind condolences for our pup, Peanut, Deb. I know you understand.....xx Karen

    shoveling snow is one experience i'll never have living here in sunny Queensland Australia :)) i do love all the snow photos you take & share, they look magical.

  14. Oh no, it looks like the out-house is snowed in. You'd better check to see if anyone was using it at the time...
