The mathematical probability of a common cat doing exactly as it pleases is the one scientific absolute in the world. - Lynn M. OsbandVery true, we kitties do whatever we want. We want to nap, we nap. Play, we play! But her comment about us being common? We are exceptional kitties, not common.
Now mum says "Enough Already". No she is not upset anything with me, but with the never ending snow machine this month. Mum took a few pictures this morning as she once again had to use the snow eating monster.
The front of the house has lots of icy water hanging down. Mum says this is not good and then she needs to bring out a big long pole with an upside down scoop on it to bring the snow off the roof.
You can see the front of the house and the neighbors house and they have raked snow from the roof too to help keep the icy stuff down. You can see mum's footprints from the other day. They almost got filled in by the snow yesterday.
This is the bird bath, mum has not touched this at all. You can see how deep it has stacked up. Sort of looks like a big ice cream cone. Mum figures this is 10-12 inches deep right now. The official TV weather guy says we have a snow depth of 13 inches.
A picture of the front of the house after mum used the snow eating monster and raked our roof as well too. She raked the roof Friday and redid it again on Sunday morning. See anyone familiar in the front window?
The snow making the trees look pretty.
Me, not really paying attention to mum. I was giving myself a bath as I sat in the sun. You know cleanliness is next to godliness.
Today's quote is the greatest! I can think of no other statement that could be more true.

Derby, stay warm. It looks like you are having one very cold winter! It's been awhile since you've had the never ending snow, hasn't it?
ReplyDeletewow, mommy can't reach the snow on our roof wifout a ladder - but we has lots of icy things hanging down too - right over the front door!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that sure is a lot of snow! It looks pretty but very, very cold. I hope you stay warm and cozy.
ReplyDeleteThats a nice window for snoopervising as the people move the snow from one place to another.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of snow.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing we don't have to clean up after a snowfall.
Oh boy, that's a lot of snow :-0 Your Mom does a very good job removing it. That's hard work!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I love that quote! Second, yikes! My beans would be very unhappy if we had that much snow. The way I look at it, the snow makes it easier to see the birdies at my bird feeders. I'm glad we're inside kitties when I see pictures like that!
ReplyDeleteThose pikchurs are furry pretty, but they make us feel cold. Fink we'll go and snuggle closer to the fire.
ReplyDeletewow! Derby, you gots lots more white stuff than we do!
ReplyDeleteMom said we had melty temps today so some of it is gone!
Our snow turned to rain this afternoon. Momma really hates that, it is sloppy, messy. She loves the snow, but says by February is ready for it to leave.

Oh my. It's lucky your mum doesn't have to shovel all that by paw!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of snow, all right. I'm glad you have a snow eating monster and your Mom doesn't have to do all the moving by shovel. Stay warm and cozy.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the kind words about my sister-in-law. They helped me tremendously.
Haha...I see you there in the window! What a wot of snow you got Derby!
ReplyDeleteOh my that's a lot of snow - Daddy said we got 8" the other day!
ReplyDeleteWOW...what beautiful pictures. We LOVE the snow. We have only gotten one good snow so far.
ReplyDeleteWe sit in the window and watch the white stuff come down!
You're entirely right, Derby! We are not common...we're all unique in our own way!
ReplyDeleteA bath in the sun is the best, isn't it?
Oh my goodness at all that snow! I'm glad you are safe and warm inside, Derby!
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful! I'm glad she has a snow eating monster. Still, I'm glad I'm a cat...looks like way to much work.
ReplyDeleteThat's very pretty, but it also makes me very glad we moved away from the place where the evil snow would sneak in during the night and freeze my useless nipples...
ReplyDeleteThose pictures make it look very pretty - but I know it's *cold!
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes,
Lux
What lovely pictures! Icicles hanging from the roofies! I get excited because I have never seen snow before. However, you can keep the snow and ice. As kitty, I prefer the warm sun on my back and tummy as I stretch out on the green grass.
ReplyDeleteWowies, thats alots of snow! We neber gets none of that. Like only once in a squillion years! We is super jealous!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! Meowm is very glad we don't have that much snow here! Be sure to snuggle your Mom extra when she comes inside from doing all that work!
ReplyDeleteIt is very cold where you live, Derby. I'm glad your mum is careful to make a place for you to sit in the sun..that way you won't become a catsicle!
ReplyDeleteNice photos of the snow storm. I never heard of raking a roof before. It is a good thing that ya were inside watching your mom work outside. burr too cold.
ReplyDeleteBrrrr. That looks like cold weather there! But you look handsome and warm in your window.
