The cat's the only one who likes it...

Our cat's beverage of choice is melting (not meltED, but meltING) snow - I guess it's way better than faucet water, (flushed) toilet water, or any other water in the house. She loved it when it was warm and melting. But all the melting and refreezing left the pile of snow on our deck crusty and dirty, so we told her "No!"

Last night it snowed (and it's still snowing). She was one happy cat when someone scooped out a bowlful of snow for her to watch/wait for it to begin melting...

On the other hand, Ben is bummed that he probably won't be able to have his friend over - the drive in to town and back just might not happen, despite the fact that Dad dug himself out early this morning and went in to (and across) town to get to work.
