She sings so beautifully.<br />Our Sheba (barn kitty) looks much like your Toby. She's the best hunter we have. Saw her treeing a little squirrel out front just a while ago. Happily, he lived to tell the tale :)<br />Your photos are such a treat. The little wren is adorable on that cute birdhouse. I've only ever seen one wren here. Wish I could see more.<br />Hannah makes breaks for the door like your Toby. She's naughty about stalking birds too so I have to watch her carefully. She spends a lot of time at the patio doors watching them.<br />Thanks for sharing the beauty. <br />We have light snow falling this morning and 35ยบ. It's gorgeous out there and the bird feeders are busy!<br />I love your header!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641867746157798839.post-17337951629880355082010-01-17T14:16:30.213-06:002010-01-17T14:16:30.213-06:00HI MArnie,

I love the wren house, and thank goodness the weather broke.<br />Toby is a good cat for not being bothered by the snow, I have 3 cats and only 1 (he watches the birdies too)will venture out, sometimes....the others are getting chunky!<br />PS. I used the hair dye on the newest doll wig and it worked like a charm!

I especially love the contrast between the "then" and "now." These scenes make winter look so appealing--as long as you can stay indoors:) My cats don't even care to venture outside much and are less interested in the birds than Sophie is. They've all decided this winter they are "housecats."<br /><br />I'm trying to figure out why Blogger doesn't always update my blogroll--this post didn't show up on my sidebar until this afternoon (Thurs.).Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
