A Sunday visitor

Look who hung out just outside the house on Sunday. First he was on the railing of our back porch and then was in a nearby tree for about 20 minutes. Needless to say we made sure the cat was inside.

I hope those of you affected by the ice storm that tore through the midwest are safe and warm. We just have cold fog and rain here.

Holy crap, Claire! That photo is AWESOME! I'm glad you had the cat safely tucked away.

We're on the border of ice and rain so it goes from being treacherous to just blecky. Everyone's walking around like they're 90.
