Saturday mornings always find Princess of the Universe wanting to play. Yesterday was no exception. A little friend of hers came over and they played “camping.” This little boy loves how Princess of the Universe is able to really play boy games, but hey, she has three brothers after all.
They are building their tent. At least that’s what they said.
On my way out for my wintery Saturday walk during my lunch break, I took a picture of the two little kitties snuggled up on their favorite chair. The one on the right is the tailless cat. She’s much bigger, but much more shy than the smaller kitten.
All during my walk, it sounds as if little critters are walking along with me, only they are in the mass of trees and vines by the road. Every so often I catch a glimpse of a little bird here or there in the carpeting of leaves under the tangled trees. The animals blend right in and are hard to see.
It is very cold, but I do love my walks. With most of the foliage gone, the train track looks long and lonely, like it only goes to somewhere even colder than here.
Another tangle of vines and trees, filled with hidden animal sounds.
When I return, the kittens have moved and Oreo has taken their spot. I love how cats pull their legs tightly up underneath themselves to sleep when it’s cold.
There’s not much color overall in the cold landscape of late fall and winter, but there’s something about it I love. I love the contrast of the clear blue sky and the black silhouettes of the trees. I love the sharpness of the air. It makes me love and appreciate our little home even more.
