Good Morning/almost Afternoon, Everyone,

Rusty and I have been decorating the Xmas tree. That is to say, Rusty is chillaxin' in his favorite chair supervising the work. But he did come right up to the tree to see what I was doing!! Progress!!! We've spent the morning with the tree, listening to the Bach Cantata-request hours on the Columbia University radio station (WKCR) via the internet. Every year they devote an entire week to Bach, 24 hours a day. The student announcers don't pronounce the titles of the cantatas or the names of the performers very well, but they try!

Rusty had a good night and a good routine this morning. I wish I could say the same for the weather. Freezing rain with a coating of ice on everything. I had to chip the sunflower seeds out of the birdfeeders this morning! The trees are bowed over. Fortunately we don't have to travel until Tuesday, when it is expected to be very cold, but no storms.

Wishing all a good day. Sending mega healing vines to Champ and to all kitties and beans not feeling well. Continuing to remember all of our wonderful kitties who have traveled to the Bridge in the last few weeks, and sending our sympathy to their beans.

Ella & Rusty

Good job Rusty! Such a brave boy, and nice blue numbers to start the day! :-D
Sounds like cancelling the hike was imminent with that weather...sheesh! Very wonderful of you to brave that weather and make sure the birdies can get their seeds out. Such a big heart :-D
With the cold weather, please make sure you have a good emergency kit packed in the vehicle. Thank goodness no storms on travel day!
 
Re: 12/22 Rusty AMPS 182

Nice start for Rusty today. How great that he came up to the Christmas tree to see what you were doing. Yuck on the ice. I hope the roads aren't too messy on Tuesday.
 
Re: 12/22 Rusty AMPS 182

Hi Ella,

Sounds like a nice day to stay cozy inside and decorate the tree with the help of Rusty. We are in the middle of a full blown ice storm here. Many are without power, but I have been lucky so far!
 
Re: 12/22 Rusty AMPS 182

Hi, Ella, what a nice amps for Rusty today. I wonder if the LagoonMeister will be on duty later...
I bet your tree looks beautiful, especially with the overseeing abilities of Rusty :-D
Enjoy your day ☼

Morning Ella ~O) ~O) ~O)

WOOT Rusty came up to the Tree! happy happy dance. Well done Rusty - trees really are very cool. How nice that the was willing to check it out. And Rusty - those BG's are mighty fine too. Thinking of the lagoon today?

WOW on the ice storms... and the freezing of all. Linda (Bear Man) posted a few photos on FB this morning. It is so crazy to see all encased in ice like that. I am glad that things will be better when you have to travel.

Enjoy your day today. Christmas trees: always one of my fav things, Enjoy!!
 
Re: 12/22 Rusty AMPS 182, +6 135

I want to thank you for stopping by Champ's condo and wishing him well. It's so appreciated!! He's home now and I know it's because he had so many people praying for him!!
 
Re: 12/22 Rusty AMPS 182, +6 135

Ick on the freezing rain! I hope the weather improves for you soon. I'm glad that Rusty is at least having a nice day :-D Wishing for a great evening for you both!
 
Re: 12/22 Rusty AMPS 182, +6 135

Sounds like you and Rusty had a relaxing, productive day in spite of the yucky weather! :-D Hope the trees don't break, ice can be so damaging~ Have a good night Ella :smile:
 
Re: 12/22 Rusty AMPS 182, +6 135

I hope Rusty hasn't been talking to Lola or he might do more than just come up to the tree. :lol: Nice blue surf today but the lagoon awaits. And it will be a lot nicer than that wicked ice storm. Paws crossed for your power to stay on. Linda's too.

Hi again,

A flat blue day for Rusty. He's down on the couch, waiting for us to sit with him.

Our temperature has risen to the upper 30s--an inversion--but maybe it will melt some of the ice. One of our birch trees is bent over to the ground and all the trees are encased in about 1/3 of an inch of ice. "Bucky", a little buck deer who hangs out in our back woods, was looking for sunflower seed today. Fortunately there was plenty to go around for the birds, the squirrels, and the deer.

I just finished my last batch of cookies (these to take to my nephew's for Xmas-eve dessert). Tomorrow Edward and I will bake the Xmas breakfast pistachio bread and wrap presents and get our stuff ready to go (leaving on Tuesday morning). Kim, don't worry: we always have a full emergency kit in the car (food, hot drink in a thermos , candle & matches, Jello powder, flashlight, handwarmers, mylar emergency blankets, kitty litter for traction, shovel, brushes, etc.), and for a long trip we add a couple of sleeping bags. Rusty will have his little bed and his fleece blanket, in addition to his food, etc. He'll be wearing his "Road ID" collar. And now we have a cell phone. :lol: My sister tells me that it was 60 degrees F. today where she lives (south of Syracuse, where we are going)!

To visit condos. Very happy to hear that Champ is home.

Ella & Rusty

Aside from the freezing rain, it sounds like you had such a lovely day today. Even though Rusty isn't in the lagoon, that is a nice little surf he has going on there. Have a wonderful evening...and pistachio bread sounds awesome!!
 
Re: 12/22 Rusty AMPS 182, +6 135, +9 176, PMPS 191

Nice flat blue, Rusty and Zener are in the groove, now to get Tess back down there.

Yaya on all the cookies done, Tess wants to know if you need a taster for the cimmamum ones.
 
Re: 12/22 Rusty AMPS 182, +6 135, +9 176, PMPS 191

I want a cookie. :lol:
Nice to see other plans for Christmas. I need to think about that stuff .


Hope your travels are safe and warm. No slipping or sliding...
unless it's Rusty's bg....

I think Rusty could be the captain of the Kitty Curling team. He's a natural. :lol:

:lol: :lol: on Rusty curling!! (It's a big deal up here; but Rusty doesn't like to get his feet cold or wet; he'll need boots!)

Big dive and splash into the lagoon this evening. Those flat blues meant something.

35 degrees at 11 P.M.. Our winterberry shrub has shed its ice, so that's a good sign. It was blocking our back door.

See you all tomorrow,

Ella & Rusty
 
Hi Ella,
Sounds like you had a nice relaxing day.
Christmas tree decorating and baking sound so cozy....
Nice slide down to green, Rusty! Can you call out for Lucy from there?

Well someone decided to kick the flat blue! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: maybe all that exercise from curling dropped his BG.

Sounds like you had a lovely day. I hope you all have a very safe trip to your sister's and enjoy your holiday. Tobey said he will meet you in Syracuse where it is warmer. He hopes your sister has cimmamum :-D
