cold and snowing

 When I got up this morning ( Sunday) it was 7F outside... cold cold cold !! I didn't even want to go out and fetch the paper from the end of our driveway. So I made a pot of coffee and started reading from my Kindle!!

 1.30 pm ... it's a little warmer ( 10 F) and it has started snowing. Little tiny flakes. Bob made sure that the feeders had seed and we put out a pie pan of seed on the deck railing. We've had woodpeckers, tufted titmice, juncos , sparrows... and a Blue Jay...

Monday... Bob had to leave the house by 7.30 !! Jack the cat is due for a tooth cleaning and the vet wants to start early. Jack will be kept almost all day since tooth cleaning means anesthesia and the vet wants to make sure he is ok.  ( had to have some teeth pulled and we will have to administer painkillers.)

This morning is cold too... 7 F plus wind so it feels a lot colder.  The roads are slick and slippery so Bob's trip to the vet's office was a slow one.

Due to the cold schools that are open for classes have shifted to virtual learning ( no snow days any longer) ..... 

Kansas City has set up a huge place for the homeless to get out of the cold... the regular shelters were full

The last time one of our cats had dental surgery they gave us pain killers. However, trying to administer them stressed the cat out so much I eventually stopped.

Jack's painkillers are liquid and can be squirted into his mouth... so far he's tolerating them
