Barn kitty captured!

I don't know how far I will get with this as I am on Hubby's computer and his keyboard is much smaller then mine so I keep making mistakes. I'll go until I get fed up with myself for not being able to adapt. Funny how we get stuck in our own ways and don't like changes. Am I the only one who drags their heels at change? Of course I am not only speaking of computers but of things in life in general. I know there are people out there that are always looking ahead to the next adventure but I am not one of them. I am so happy in my present circumstances and would really hate for anything to change. I do like to see new things though and anytime we travel to some place new I always like to soak in every little thing to be seen. We would like to go to England in the not too distant future and that sounds very exciting to me.

Anywho, back here on the farm we have had some changes in the last couple of days. We acquired about a foot and a half of new fluffy snow! If it's going to be winter and cold let's have some snow to play so I always look forward to the storms that heap a nice big helping of the white stuff on us, especially if it is light and fluffy which makes for great snowmobiling.

Church was canceled Sunday due to the poor road conditions so we bundled up and went out for a nice snowmobile ride. Son had been over the trails with the groomer that his grandfather made for him this past summer and it did a great job. The snow was still coming down but not in a biting way so it was beautiful to be out in the woods and along the carriage trails.

After snowmobiling we went sledding over behind FIL's house and had a great time. He has the best hill in the neighborhood so all the kids make good use of it. I took lots of pictures but am not on my own computer so those will have to wait till next time.

I captured little barn kitty this morning! Yea! I was a bit concerned that she might have some kittens in the hay loft so I told the vet to call me if there was an indication that that might be the case and I would come back and get her and we would do the spaying another time. I got a phone call and they said, "guess what, she's a HE"! Guess I didn't have to worry about kittens. He had his operation, shots, check up and was treated for ear mites and will come home tomorrow. I will keep him inside for a couple of days, even though they said it's not necessary, just to keep an eye on things. My vet said that he is perfectly happy living in the barn and would probably warm up to us after a while. He had a barn cat for 19 years and she got along fine. I keep dry food down there all the time and take canned food down each day plus some warm water to drink.

I am relieved to have caught him as it has been so cold here. I had him checked for frostbite but he was perfectly fine and has a beautiful coat of hair. I knew it would be nice and cozy in the hay but I feel better knowing that he has been checked and all. They named him Thomas after one of the vets there. I don't know if I will keep that or not, may toss the idea of picking a name out to the grand kids and see what they come up with.

I got lots of comments on my Turkey Whisperer post. Aren't they a hoot?! Some days they will talk to me a lot and some days won't say a word. The older mature ones are the most likely to talk to me, the immatures are still quite skittish. Did you know turkeys can fly really well? They fly way up in the high branches of the pine trees at night to roost or if they sense danger around. Anyway I find them amusing, guess it doesn't take much eh? lol!

I am going through withdrawal not having my own computer and being able to access my graphics and pictures but guess I should be thankful for this computer to get me by till mine comes home. I can't tell you the number of times I have gone to my desk to do something and think oh yeah my computers not here. Oh well this too shall pass. :o)
