Brrrrr! Got nippy last night didn’t it? Could do without those 20 degree temps! Today’s sunshine will be quite welcome! Sunny, along with a few afternoon clouds. High 63F. Winds S at 10 to 20 mph. Sounds good to me! MEOW! I bet those geese will be waddling around honking their approval! Tonight’s going to be cloudy and not so cold! Low around 40F. That’s just a sleep with one cat buddy kind of night versus the whole caboodle! Winds S at 10 to 20 mph.

Yesterday we said good-bye to sweet Oscar, who made his Journey to the Rainbow Bridge early in the morning. Oscar had lived happily at Rikki's Refuge for many years....he is missed.
