This is VERY Serious Business – Cat in Window

This morning, dappled clouds filled the sky with temperatures in the upper 40s after a couple days of rain. The air was clean and damp, and the light was perfect for photography.

I grabbed the DSLR and tried to take a picture of everything at once. A sure recipe for disaster.

After almost 200 photos, I had a few keepers. It’s better to be lucky than good.

This is Minnie staring at me like a bird on the feeder beside me. Minnie spends hours in this window watching woodpeckers come to the suet.

Minnie is looking through a window that is older than me and possibly my parents. It has rope pulleys, is covered with layers of lead paint, and needs new glazing.

I wouldn’t trade those windows for the world. Even with the needed maintenance.

    Looks like my brother’s cat, Oreo, who was living in my childhood home in 1997, when I reglazed many windows that looked just like that, weighted rope pullies and all. It got to be almost fun. Not a good window for heat retention in North Dakota.

      I need to do all that work on many of the windows. The secret is to get started. The windows are drafty here as well. I keep the wood stove blazing and let the forces of cold battle the forces of heat.
