Miggs , Papa & I

 

The weather has been cold with the odd pop of sun . We had a bit of wet snow falling yesterday and earlier this morning  whilst Papa , Miggs and I were out finishing up the last bit of the yard and garden clean up . However I have left a few flowers in the gardens as they are loving the cold frosty weather  and still look pretty , even more so with frost on them , I will post photos  of them tomorrow .

                                                                 The story of our weekend so far .

As this garden is new this year with our hummer, butterfly and bee plants we put mulched leaves on them then  covered it all with burlap so they get a good winterizing as it is their first winter .

                              These photos I know all you Miggs fans will love  . Papa and I had fun with her .

Miggs is a hoot when it comes to doing the leaves and putting them in a big pile  she waits for this every year . One of her favourite things to do every fall !   Jump and play in the leaves !

             Then Papa vacuumed the leaves up with the blower mulcher  after Miggs was done playing in them .

Cold Clouds

 

Yes these deep greyish clouds are holding snow in them . They came over yesterday at about 4pm and we had a rain snow mix . Thankfully the snow was to wet to stay on the ground  but boy oh boy has the temps ever dropped and the winds have that arctic nip to them .

              I do like clouds and the more layers and colour they have in them the more dramatic they look . I also like big puffy white clouds that hang in the mid air in a blue sky all on their own .

The temps dropped to  0C last night but we here in the valley don't always get frost but the top of the valley does . This morning the temps are 2°C Feels like –1 or 36°F Feels like 30 and not rising much more either  as the winds will keep it colder then it is . Well the furnace  is on now and Papa and I are off outside to finish up the rest of the garden clean up and leaves  and that will be that for the season . Oh I better get out there Papa and Miggs just went out the door  and I am still in my jammies . At least the sun has risen and is shining  so that will help ! When we come in maybe have a nice fire going and relax for the rest of the afternoon and evening !

                                                    Laters all !!!  , until next time , stay cozy it is BRR !! out there .
