Scone’s First Snowball
6 Feb
Last night, Bill and I went outside to play in the snow. When we came back inside, we gave Scone his first snowball.
He had no idea what it was and was unimpressed. He did enjoy having an ice ball rubbed on his head, which surprised me.
This morning, he took a more engaged interest in the outside. Maybe because it looks like this:
DC has already received two feet of snow, and another foot is expected. Let’s do the math: I’m 5’0”, we already have 2’0” and we’re about to get another 1’0”. That’s officially more than HALF OF MY BODY. For Scone, the snow is probably 3 times bigger than him.
I’m not sure he knows what’s happening, but he’s pretty into window watching today.
If you’re friends with me on Facebook, you may already know about my “Faces of Scone” album. Some people post pictures of their kids; I post pictures of a magical cat. Such is life.
And so this isn’t all about Scone, here’s my breakfast treat for the morning:
Here’s to a day of creative projects, delicious food, napping, movie watching and – of course – homework. Good thing school is fun! I may even get outside a little later and roll down the snowy hill for good measure.
Are you snowed in? What are you doing?
Q & A
Don’t forget you can ask me anything! I plan on answering in themed posts. For example:
Does Scone ever try to chew on your hair? My cat does and it’s weird! I love him, but he does this when I’m trying to sleep or if I just took my ponytail out … Of course, I stop him…
No, Scone has never tried to chew on my hair. Though I’ve heard of other cats doing that. I mean, I’m not sure what he’s doing while I’m sleeping, but I’ve never woken up to him eating my head, thankfully.
We still going to woodberry tonight?
HAHAHAHAHA

Oh, I love Scone! Great pics! Enjoy being snowed in!
Oh my gosh, those pictures of Scone are so incredible!!!
I am not snowed in totally but it’s really windy and gross out…I’m going to do some yoga and catch up on some writing projects!
There’s nothing like toast for breakfast on a snow day
Scone has such a beautiful and expressive face!
I wish we got some of that snow; we’ve only gotten a dusting in New York…
I think that last picture of scone is a framer, it’s beautiful.
I am not snowed in, thank god!! It seems like you guys have gotten a lot more than us in the MA/NH/ME area. I’m liking that.
I’m snowed in, too! Shoveled once today and you can barely tell, but I’m hoping to wait until it finally stops falling before doing it again. Right now, I’m just exhausted!
I’m snowed in!!! Ahhh!!! I’ve already shoveled once this afternoon, but there is a lot more ahead of me. There is was too much snow out there – I didn’t sign up for all of this.
No snow here. Just called my mom and she still has power. Hope you do too!
I love BOTH of your faces in the interaction shots with Scone…
And I WISH I was snowed in… and your thesis rocks…
Oh my look at that snow – I cannot imagine that much snow!
At least you only have to shovel your cars out and not shovel a driveway.
Enjoy your evening – hope you can get lots of work done.
That is a lot of snow!
i am snowed in and, uh, reading blogs! really though I spent the day watching the snow and then walking to a local bar to grab food and hang out with the other cabin feverish locals.
My late cat, Earl was a hair chewer! He really liked curly hair! When I was in middle school and my friend Maggie would spend the night, she would awaken to Earl eagerly chewing her hair! It seriously traumatized her!
I never thought I’d get all goofy over cat pictures, but you always have the best photos of Scone! I love the expressions you manage to capture!!!
Cats make the best photography subject, I’m convinced.
haha my cat used to chew on my hair sometimes! I think she was just really curious about what exactly it was doing hanging from my head.
I love that you rubbed a snowball on Scone’s head and he enjoyed it! LOL!
I love your cat pics… especially the one of him looking out with his reflection in the window!
Cute pictures of Scone! My cat loves the snow and will look out the window for HOURS. She won’t let me take photos of her, though!
