Warm enough for...

January weekend, the 12th and 13th, in Black Mountain, brought picnic weather.  Funny, because I wished for it kind of, over on my other blog, by posting pictures of a picnic a few years ago.  Too bad we couldn't get to that picnic ground, because I'm pretty sure the Blue Ridge Parkway is still closed up there...road repairs I think.

So here's what it was warm enough for...
 in my neck of the woods.  Actually, not even out in the woods.

An open window with a cats-eye view of the neighborhood.

There's my view over the rooftops of the Seven Sister's Mountains.  Panther/Painter was the first to be placed in the window still.  She wasn't quite brave enough to jump up by herself, even with a chair underneath, but part of that is because she used to have a platform to sit on, and now there are all these grooves in the windowsill which are not at all comfortable for cat bottoms.  Towel only helped a little.

Both cats were sniffing like crazy, then I started sneezing.  Dust still on the screens, though I'd dusted the sills before putting the towels down.

Muffin balanced on head of bed, rather than stepping into open windowsill where I'd placed her.

Not to stay there very long, Muffin on the way down

Guess where Muffin decided to go, having given up her very own perch!

We all know the other cat has the best spot.

"Age before beauty...where did Panther go?"  These ladies don't share easily.

"I'm just sitting here resting my eyes, but actually She can't get past me without my noticing!"

The natural balance of things.

Sneak peak for tomorrow, to see the grand opening of the amaryllis!
