Winter Hits Oregon

Snow hit the mid valley last night. Snow shuts down the mid valley in Oregon. We don't see much snow in the valleys of Oregon. We do in the mountains, particularly the Cascades, not so much the Coast Range. But in the valley? Rare stuff indeed. So we love it, at least some of us do, we who rarely ever get out of the valley, to visit the mountains in the winter. We folks who don't or can't winter recreate, for whatever reason, do love it when winter, other than pouring rain, comes to us.







I lost an adopter today, some folks interested in two kittens. They were at Petco, and while there, decided instead to get two from KATA. I don't know why, but it gets to me. It gets to me I suppose because KATA gets community support. They get help from Heartland and Petco. I know they work hard to help cats. I feel like quite the outsider here, in the mid valley, so often. It's the old issues, of wanting to be accepted here, be good enough or something here, in my own community.

I guess it doesn't matter so much. Good for them, adopting out two kittens. I couldn't care less what KATA does or doesn't do anymore. We had a major falling out and it was long overdo. I just have to find homes for all these here. I hope I can. I will do my best.
