It’s been super cold here.
Like almost Zero cold
We don’t like going outside.
But we do. (Business to take care of, you do understand)
Sometimes we go with Mom
Sometimes we run out the door with Dad
But
Mostly we stay inside by the fire
Just say’n.
Oh! Yes! It’s almost Christmas!
Merry Christmas from Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai

Although, the light is still on the pink side
As the sun starts to set
And the calendar still says it is November
The air has said we have stopped having Autumn, and now moving closer and closer
To winter!

Alas, our above normal December temperatures have fallen to ‘normal’.
This is the high yesterday. Which really was much colder as we had a sharp wind with the cold, so the wind chill needed to be factored in.
Even as cold as this was Fuzzy wanted to stay outside, although Boomer didn’t.
Sam didn’t stay in much either, preferring the outdoors, then sitting by the wood stove when he came in, then back out he would go.
Monkey, made a wild dash out the door, only once,
When I went out to do something.
This is what I saw when I came back.
Although, I know cold is relative, this is cold to us
The temperature when I got up today.
And it will only get worse as the days wind down to the solstice on December 21st.
Will that be the end of the world?!?!?
I have know idea.
I do know that after the solstice, the days will start to grow longer again and the temperatures even colder and colder until we hit March.
Which seems like a very long time from now.
Oh, well. Cold like this is really hard on the bugs, which can be a good thing next summer!
