A Frost Post on a Cold Winter's Day

Yesterday, Charlene spent pretty much the whole day watching the jumbo-sized snowflakes fall. It didn't stick much then, but last night the snow fell hard and accumulated. We woke up to a winter wonderland.

It's snowing again now, and with those grey clouds above, it doesn't seem to show signs of stopping soon.

I brought Bean outside to see if she might want to check it out. She stood on the doormat, only three paws touching, and sniffed the air. Then she turned around and pawed at the front door. It was just to cold for her precious self. You would think she would be fine with her fur coat, but I guess our Bean is just delicate.

Speaking of wintery things,, I've got some new pictures of the Frosts to share. They hardly look like kittens! They both weigh around seven pounds, so they are getting big!

Thanks for sending the pics, Dad!

And thanks to everyone who shared the kitty stories this week. I hope you all enjoyed reading everyone's tales as much as I did. There were some REALLY good ones.

  1. We hit the jackpot - Butterbean AND the Frosts in one post!! I'm not really surprised about Charlene, she's such a princess. And those Frosties! Cuter and sweeter by the *day.*

  2. Great photos of Nigel and Mimsey! I especially like the box one -- it's the same box they were climbing in and out of through a tiny hole when they were small!!

  4. Woohoo, a Frost update! They are getting so big...all the more to love. Charlene's got that snow thing just right...lovely through a window...not so much on bare (or furry) feet. I sometimes scoop up a snowball and bring it indoors for sniffing, batting, etc. Even that isn't particularly welcome to my indoor only ones.

  5. they do grow up waaay to fast, at least for my preferences. my little guy, shlomo (aka little man, shloms) who was just a wee bitty 1 jan is now a teenager. it makes me a bit sad that shlomo is getting big and isn't gonna be my little man for much longer. but, like the frosts, he's growing up to be a beautiful big(ger) guy.

  6. Scarlett and Melly enjoyed watching the snow fall too. Melly was thoroughly confused this morning by the snow that covered everything outside, and kept pacing the window ledges and pawing at the glass. Scarlett just sniffed the air through a crack in the window and then went and curled up by the heater.

    The Frosts have gotten so big! They look so grown up now, but they're still adorable!

  7. Cute, cute kitties! My cat, Charlie, will shy away from the cold even though he is an adopted stray who grew up in the cold and rain.

  8. Charlene is just very intelligent; why go freeze her tail off when she can crawl up on Craig and nap? Love the Frosts and they are of course flourishing with your parents.

  12. Squeeeeeeee!!!! They are so big! I can't believe how fast they are growing, they lost the baby cheeks already and look so gorgeous and lean. Time really flies when you're dealing with itty bitty kittens.

  15. Wonderful photos of Nigel and Mimsey! I especially like the box the box is going up inside and outside through a small hole when they were little!

  16. I enjoyed the stories too. Nice to see Nigel and Mimsey. They are growing fast! Oh Miss Bean, you would laugh at my silver tabby kitty. She likes to go fishing in the puddle on my deck when it rains.

  17. They are just soooo big now!

  18. Oh, Nigel, I love you so dearly. :)
    And for miss Bean - thank the itty bitty god you're having snow for sniffing and looking at. Here at Rio de Janeiro, the sun is so hot it's burning! Your furry fellow Agatha suffers so much in the heat... :(

  19. Nigel seems to have grown into all his floof; he doesn't look as long-haired as I thought he would be.

  20. Nigel is soooo handsome! I swoon before you, Mr. Frost.

  21. Sleek and handsome -- they're growing into their adult bodies very well.

    Bean, I'm with you. I'd rather be inside.
