Icicle, Crow, Gull, Cat

Yeah, there's a title that will grab ya! At least it's descriptive...

Alrighty then! That sort of weather cuts down on the outdoor activities doesn't it? But there are still the birds...

And...

It's interesting to note that the "pecking order" in the back yard has changed significantly - what used to be the kingdom of the crows is now the property of the gulls and the turkeys... Don't get me wrong... I have nothing against Gs and Ts, but they devour everything in sight and chase away the smaller birds. (At least the crows leave the lessers alone.) Thankfully, I still have the "Comfy Cushion of Doom" to un-invite the thuggish. Crows, you are not alone.

And speaking of animal behaviors, Toby, our ragdoll cat has a small cut on the bridge of his nose. As he's strictly an indoor pet (around here, an outdoor cat is coyote kibble), my guess is that in a fit of joyous "Kitty Crazies", he ran into something. (Toby is not the brightest little lion in the world. Nor is he the most graceful or most courageous... But at times, he certainly can be one of the happiest and most exuberant.) I can always tell when there's a problem because he becomes very "clingy" and wants to sit on my foot. Mrs. CCA calls him "a weird little creature." Anyway, Toby is fine, and if you want to learn more about ragdolls, a good place to start is Ragdoll Central...

Gotta run... See you by the feeders,

I know you are probably busy but I thought id let you know that your blog looks a bit different in google chrome. I have just installed google chrome and all the webpages like youtube and google look the same but your site looks a little different. It looks like the font is a bit smaller and its different type of font.
