Yesterday was a GRAY day…………..various shades of gray too – it ALMOST seemed as if the sun might break through because it got LIGHT GRAY……….then five minutes later it was DARK GRAY and raining cats and dogs……….well not literally – imagine what a mess that would be!
EEEEK!
It was a little bit freaky because the first forcast said SEVERE weather but we didn’t get anything SEVERE – just WET. I was happy about that…………….it didn’t disturb my napping patterns at all. I hardly noticed in fact. Except when I whined to go outside and was LET out on the front porch only to see RAIN………I am not a fan of rain. Neither is this guy.
So I stayed inside for the most part, doing what I do best…………………and we ALL know what THAT is right?
As if you haven’t seen enough snoozer photos of me to fill 87 albums!!! Some of these are newer and some are older…………….the older ones I was a chub – now I’m slim and trim and downright bony but that’s OK…..as long as I’m putting one foot in front of the other Mom says I’m just FINE!
To top off a WET day, we actually had tornado warnings last evening just about dinner time………..we waited and watched but thankfully they didn’t hit our town – in fact, while there were some pockets of possible tornadic wind activity, not sure there was one that touched the ground anywhere near us. But we were “EYES TO THE SKY” and listening to the weather radio, you can bet on it!
Anyway, we are hoping that tomorrow we’ll get a bit of a break from rain……….our ground is now saturated between the heavy snows we had which are melted now and the rain and people are afraid if we get wind, the BIG TREES will come down. We hope not – we have a lot of big trees around our house. I do NOT want to be like this guy!
So I’ll just keep on snoozing and hoping Chicken Little is WRONG………..I like my sky right where it is thank you very much!
I hope your sun puddles come back soon, Sammy!

Well, we’ve got that wind today after yesterday’s non-stop, heavy rains. Mom had to go to the dentist, and she couldn’t even get out of the car as the wind kept slamming the door of the car closed. She HATES wind. It makes her grumpy and angry. We had snow flurries this morning. We say enough is enough…we want spring! Mom says that one good thing about the dentist visit is that she met some really nice cat people that she talked to for a really long time.
