There’s an old wives’ tale that kitties suck the breath out of little babies, but the only thing we’ve ever seen kitties trying to suck the breath out of is themselves. Laurie pulled the foot warmer out of its bag to put in on the bed tonight, and no sooner did she lay the bag on the bed than Diné got in it. Both Laurie and Rosencrantz came out to tell me to come in and look at Diné. Rosencrantz was very emphatic about me following him into the bedroom so I could see what Diné was up to. Rosencrantz is a tattle tell, and both looks out for other people and kitties, and gets them into trouble telling on them.
When I checked the temperature on the deck at 8:10 this morning, the thermometer showed 20 degrees F. That was after the sun had been on it for about 15 minutes. The temperature may have fallen to the mid teens in the garden this morning.
The sharp morning light cut a window in the wall this morning giving me an inverse of the world outside.
Laurie got a photo of Blaze of Glory defying the frost, getting ready to open a spray of blooms.
Off Center & Not Even 
That second photograph is Amazing!
Cats – you have to love them, and sometimes protect them from themselves – just like some people 🙂
Kitty antics are funny; thank goodness there was Rosencrantz to let you know there was a cat trying to suffocate himself.
I love the other two photos: the leaves casting their own shadows on the wall and the roses ready to open, in the cold weather, even.
