Daisy appreciates this as now she can get back upon the house roof to survey her kingdom. This morning I found her on the house roof when she greeted me after I came back from a short bicycle ride.

On the house roof
As a Christmas gift Donna gave me a roof rake for clearing snow. It is very useful this year with all the snow we have received. I used it to clear snow off of some roofs.

First mouse of 2017
With this warmer weather Daisy is going outside more. This morning I found a fat dead mouse on my front step and a proud kitty. Her first mouse of 2017.
I think she got the mouse from the large hay bales. Yesterday I moved two bales to the pasture for the cattle. When taking the twine off the first bale a mouse dropped off the bottom of the bale and ran under the wooden pallet I was about to set the bale on. Daisy wasn't with me to get the mouse.
Today when riding my bicycle I passed a woman with two kids and a dog. And a very large pig. They were all walking down the road. The pig was not on a leash. As I came up upon them the pig decided to go over to my side of the road to the ditch. The woman ran over to stop the pig from going into the ditch as she was afraid it would sink in the deep snow and get stuck.

Snow
15 inches of snow fell overnight. I had just started to shovel some of it from the driveway this afternoon when Daisy scratched at the door to come outside to join me.
Not many paths were shoveled yet so she didn't have many areas to explore. Daisy wasn't interested in trying to jump through 15 inches of snow.
After exploring, chasing her tail around and around, batting some small snow clumps around, Daisy went back inside the house. At 20-some degrees she started to shake her back legs as she walked as if they were getting cold.
The weather forecast is for the snow to continue. Even picking up in intensity Sunday night into Monday. The forecasters are predicting 1 to 2 feet more snow. And 15-25 mph winds from Sunday night through Monday to create blizzard like conditions. I'm glad the cattle have shelter to get out of the wind and snow.
