PhotoHunt: Drink

"DRINK" is the theme this week.
~~~~~
Wow, I just noticed that I have not participated in the PhotoHunt since last August 28th! I saw that DRINK is the theme this week and I immediately thought of one of my favorite layouts I have done of Willow taking a DRINK from my glass.
 As always, you can find more of Tnchick's Photohunters here!
And here

Wordy Wednesday Challenge 2011


It's time for the Wordy Wednesday Challenge 2011!
 ~~~~~
China Cat's Word is Snuggly!
~~~~~
She loves snuggling, whether it is in one of her many cat beds, or on the furniture covered with her crocheted blanket - she is one Snuggly Cat! She also loves to snuggle in our bed under my soft white blanket until the afternoon sun comes in the window. Then she snuggles on top of the blanket in the sunshine. She also is very snuggly with Willow. They are always curled up together all cute and snuggly!
~~~~~
Willow's Word is Vocal!
~~~~~
Willow is a very talkative cat, especially when her food bowl is empty! She will sit with her back in the corner and their two food bowls and one water bowl in front of her. As she sits there, she meows and meows and meows... It drives my husband crazy but as he says, "I don't feed cats!" That's fine with me because I like feeding cats - Willow gets her huge purr going as soon as the food goes in the bowl! Willow is also very vocal in the evening around 9:00 PM when she starts her meowing for treats. The treats are in the cabinet below the TV so she sits in front of it and paws on the cabinet, meowing. If I don't get her treats right away, she will come over to me on the couch, stand up on her hind legs and tap me with her front paw and Meow!

I want to thank Ann from Zoolatry and Judi from Sam, Andy and Shelly's Place for creating so many beautiful graphics for today! And everyone should head on over to the Cat Blogosphere for the links to all the participants!

Groundhog Day 2011

It's supposed to go down to -3 degrees F. here overnight tonight, after staying pretty much at 23 degrees F. all day! We didn't get as much snow as they were predicting but there is quite a bit of ice. Luckily, we didn't lose power today! 
~~~~~
Punxsatawney Phil did not see his shadow this morning and China Cat and Willow will be thrilled that Spring should be here soon! And tonight we get to have our annual favorite, Punxsatawney Pasta Fazool, in honor of Phil. You can find my recipe here.
