Sunset and those cats

 Once again we were treated to a magnificent sunset. This kind of colour only lasts for a few minutes so I had to hustle to capture it. 



No editing! It really was that intense colour. 
We are at the tail end of a spell of warm weather- but it's time for ole man winter to breathe his icy blast on us again. Next week we are expecting temps in the -30 (C) range. That's -22 + in Fahrenheit. 
Touques and long johns will be in use! I have a down work coat that I use for chores in that kind of weather. Ted's dad gave it to me and I am ever so grateful; it is a tough green canvas with lots of pockets and is mid thigh length. Perfect! 
Our cats are cuddle bugs. They like to visit Ted when he sits outside. Thumper is a lap cat- Foose not so much. Anything more than a few seconds and he wants outta there. 

Ted, of course, didn't let him go in the prerequisite 3 seconds.... 

Thumper says more cuddles please!

The feral cat that is the least skittish is Ringo. She  He will come and demand food if we are late feeding! (News flash, Ted got a good look and Ringo is definitely a he. No gender bending intended!)

Checking for mice from his vantage point

The kittens continue to live in the barn. I am keeping a watch on the little Siamese, she looks suspiciously fat.

Thank kbryan! Always nice to see a new person leaving a comment. Cats are a big part of our life- every farm needs cats! Gotta keep the mice out of the haystack! We have about 8 ferals here as well as our two old boys.

Finding the right barn clothes for winter is crucial. Ringo is one stunning cat.

as a cat person myself, there's nothing nicer than a kitty hug! my cat Blue loves cuddles. She's a great cat! the other 2 hooligans prefer to come for a quick pet, that's it! 😁
