It Will Be Cold

 It's going to be cold nights for a week at least.  Down in low 20's.   Hardly that cold but.....

cold enough.

Lisa, who moved to Michigan, promptly sent me their forecast---Ha!   Highs of 15 degrees.   So, cold here is relative.  Ours is supposed to be down in 24 F range at night.  Their lows will be half that.

OK, no complaining.

I only worry about the power bill.   The electric company is into double digit increases each year. It's killing my budget.   But hey, what can I say?   I have old cats and I can't find it in myself to let them be cold.  I can put on layers.  They can't.

However I'm not sure about trapping this next week.   Seven Mile lady had 16 more spots mid week.   But trapping is only good late there.  This second barn will be very difficult anyway.    Bait will freeze once its dark.  Or even before.

No normal cat is out and about when its so cold.  They're into clumping together and sleeping through it.  Good plan.

That's my usual MO for when its that cold at night.   Read in bed, smothered in cats.

I'm going to cover my beloved windows, on the outside, with something.  Not cardboard.  That would bring the neighbors to my door.  Too white trash for them I'm sure.

Such a superior insulator however.  Maybe I can cover the cardboard with something pretty.  Artsy cardboard over the windows.  Why not.
