HOW TO KEEP WARM IN DECEMBER

It's funny how the temperature keep going up and down even at the end of November and tomorrow is time to already turn the page to December.

I've been wearing my long johns this year and they keep me warm. I've noticed that on cold days the kitties at the barn all cuddle real close on the hay to keep warm and cosy.


Here are some of my kitties having a snooze after filling their bellies. There were so many people coming with their cameras flashing to take pictures of the triplets  that I think they got used to the flash as I took three pictures and they never even moved a hair.



Pat W,  I just couldn't help myself and had to post this. You are such  a talented knitter that I was thinking of you when I saw this photo. I know what a  terrific knitter you are and thought that with the winter coming and all  maybe you could knit this for Zip and just extend the legs to just the right length for those cold winter days.

Kim got her special Santa shower curtain  and I thought that you needed something special too.  Zip could really spice up your life with this and keep warm all at the same time.

 I thought this would give you lots of time to knit it by Christmas. Even old folks like us need some little spice in our lives don't you think.   Better move that loom upstairs and start knitting.

Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment.   JB

    Oh my gosh, Julia! I think my face would be red while I was knitting that!!! Hahaha! Now who is doing the modeling??? I showed it to Zip and he got a big laugh out of it!

    What a pile of kitties! It was interesting to read your comment on my blog about the explosion of feral kitties. We are having the same problem. Two years ago there were a few cats in the neighborhood that passed through occasionally. One of the females stayed around our house, eating scraps that we tossed out for the birds. Now we have about a dozen who live outside, many of her offspring and others that have wandered in and stayed. Yeah, we feed them because we don't want them to starve. Neutering would be difficult and expensive.
    We would have to trap them somehow because all but a few are wild and untouchable.
    I wish I could save them all!

    Now my husband would think this is too funny too...I will try to remember to show him..he has already gone to bed for the night.
    Those kitty's have the right idea...cuddling to keep warm. But makes me want to put a blanket out there in the barn for them.
    I am glad you joined by other blog..and enjoyed the vintage postcards.

    Thank you,
    Rose

    Julia,
    I saw these somewhere else on the web too and funny thing I thought of Pat with her knitting! We must all think Zip needs some good protection from the PA winters!! LOL!
    I don't think I could knit them either I'd be laughing all the while!
    Do keep warm there while doing the chores! The kittens are adorable!
