The snow did yield some pretty photos. I wasn't out much in it due to a sensitive ear, but Farm Boss had to feed; so got some good photos. I am not much of a snow person anymore. A day or two and I'm ready to see it be gone.
It was Raven's first time to see snow and that was fun to watch. Neither she nor Blackie thought much of such low temperatures for their paws. Their time outside usually was just long enough to turn around and come back in.
Surprisingly she is a cat who likes to watch the television and gets right up there as though trying to figure out from where that image is coming. I don't think she can get up on the TV and knock it over but will be glad when she is less fascinated.
Does she have TV show preferences...or does she just watch everything? Snow missed us here, but just 20 miles north they got some lovely white stuff. LIke you, I feel the novelty wear off in a short time.
ReplyDeleteThat was the Guardians with all the owls; so I'd say birds, cats and dogs equally fascinate in any film. Last night Tootsie was on cable, a film I hadn't seen in many years (fun film) and she showed no interested in Dustin Hoffman in disguise as a woman or as himself.
ReplyDeleteGreat snow photos. The farm scenes make me a little nostalgic for those days when we had horses, goats and cattle. However, memories of dealing with a parade of snowstorms each winter helps bring me back to reality!
ReplyDeleteSage occasionally shows interest in movies playing on my computer. The last time was the scene in the movie, Frida, where Diego grabs a stick of wood and chases Frida's little dog around her studio. Sage crept up to about two feet from the screen and watched - looking rather worried about the whole thing.
I liked the interesting old building, is there a story there? Old cabin or ? I'm not much for snow anymore either and too many young family members still have to commute come what may.
ReplyDeleteSnow is really pretty the first and second day, but after that it sure gets old. I would be happy to not have to deal with it again, which is why we are planning on moving back to the coast.
ReplyDeleteThat building is a harness shed, Celia and is the only really old building still on this land. We have moved it once and it might've been before as we were told it was here when travelers had to ford the stream right below where our home and barns now are today. This place is a donation homestead settled around 1852 and with the same family continuously until we bought it in 1977. It has a lot of interesting stories involving its history.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great old barn also but keeping it would have taken more than $40,000 to reroof and give it a better foundation, dangerous work and all for a building that only was pretty as modern farming methods use big round or rectangular bales which are moved with tractors, and they need to be stored in large relatively open barns.
beautiful photos. my sis has cats that do the same thing with the t.v. they look behind it to see where the birds (or squirrels) are coming from.
ReplyDeleteWe had about a week of temps where it didn't get more than a degree or so above freezing and a few nights down in the teens but I guess being fairly close to Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean kept us well above zero. TV news said that was the longest period here with it that cold since 1998. But we had no snow as it was dry and sunny. Nice now to have our usual mid-40 temps even though it comes with rain.
ReplyDeleteWe have a dog that loves to watch animals on TV. Any animal will get her attention. Our other dog couldn't care less about the TV. But I heard that the new High resolution TVs have a fast enough refresh rate that dogs and probably cats can see the picture. Old TVs they couldn't really see.
ReplyDeleteLOVELY Pictures, Rain.....Farm Boss did good! I love all the pictures but I must admit I am partial to all those with the animals.....
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that your cat likes to watch certain things on TV.....It must be great fun watching the cat watching TV...!
She's added fun on so many levels to the house, Naomi. I still miss Pepper and can cry if I let myself think about her and her early death, but Raven is finding her own place here. We have cat toys all over our living room now. I could say they are for her but they are what we enjoy seeing her play with so much. And Blackie has even begun to play with them sometimes. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting reason for it, ingineer. and I could believe that as she definitely seems to see something there and when it's animals, she's looking for where they are.
Great snow photos, Rain!
ReplyDeleteDid I told you that I never saw snow in person? I wish I did...
Sounds amazing to watch Raven walking in the snow.
We sure love our kitty cats. What is the spell they cast over us?
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours!
