Winter Garden Time in California

February 13, 2020 By: Summer Samba33 Comments

somali cat with light hoodie for garden time

Brr! We are having an exceptionally cold winter here in southern California. Even so, I wanted some garden time. Every time my human needed to go out the front door, when she came back, I was waiting for her and hoping to go out. So she finally put the leash and a light hoodie on me and we had some garden time together.

You have probably already figured out that “exceptionally cold winter” in our area is not as exceptionally cold as a lot of other places!

In fact, I decided I’d rather have the hood down instead of covering my ears.

somali cat ringing her bell

My human thought I didn’t do too well with the bell ringing at the cat show. (She says I was doing “air bells,” and just waving my paw over the bell instead of ringing it.) So I had to do some bell practice. Which I didn’t mind because I got treats!

But mostly I just got to hang out in the front on my leash. This time, my human just let me wander and didn’t spend a lot of time taking photos of me. Sometimes she wants me to enjoy myself instead of using my outside time as a nonstop photo opp. But we did pause by the little garden with the broken birdbath for a few pictures.

I was more than happy to pose! I really like the camera.

We even got some really good photos!

I hope you enjoyed being outside with me, and it didn’t make you feel too cold!

    It must of been nice outside exploring. We have a warm day today, well warm for Connecticut this time of year. It was very cold the last few days. I don’t take my furbabies outside because there are several large unattended dogs in my neighborhood and people that love to throw rocks at cats.

    Thank goodness we live in Southern California! It’s so cold elsewhere! I think you can fix that birdbath by the way!

    Just lovely Summer. I see green. Cold and green here is a goid day. It’s just grey and white and really cold. Not for any kitty or human for that fact. I’ll trade places with you any day. Does your human need a live-in house keeper, cook, kitty sitter, litter box cleaner? Room and board sufficient

    We need to switch weather, Summer. You can have our unseasonable warmth and we can get our normal cold back! We’ve been running the AC this month!

    Purrz!

    What a lovely garden you have, Summer! And the weather looks very nice. It is snowing here and our Mom loves it! She uses it as one more excuse to take a nap in front of the fireplace. She naps more than we do!

    Your grass stays green and you have pink flowers on a bush
    behind you….but you can still be pretty cold with that.
    It’s whatever you are used to that makes you cold or hot right?
    Cats without hoodies would be envious.

    Outside is good even on a leash but without pictures all the time. Though a few special moments are OK for pics.
