The Weekly Bleat: Snow Day with Clementine Kitty
No wonder it feels so cold in here. Somebody is blocking the heat.
Good company on a snowy day!

My name is Tonya, and I grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Virginia that has been in my family for over 100 years. After graduating from college, receiving my master’s degree in speech and language pathology, and living and working in a small city for six years, I decided to return to the place of my childhood. Here, in this rural area, on this patch of green, where for four generations my family has farmed, gardened, and lived, I, too wanted to be a part of this continuity. As a fourth generation farmgirl, I have many interests that not only include, but also go beyond the basics of farming, gardening, sheep and chicken-keeping. It is all of this and more that I plan on sharing in this blog.

I’m lucky that she’s so affectionate. 🙂 Sometimes cats can be independent or aloof, but not Clemmie! She even likes to perch on the edge of the tub while I bathe. I’m always worried she’s going to fall in the water.

Thanks so much, Torrie. The sofa I’m lying on in the picture belonged to my great-grandmother. I found the sofa and a matching chair in my uncle’s basement when we were restoring our house. The furniture wasn’t in good condition as their dogs were sleeping on it and stuffing was hanging out of it, too. Anyway, I found some similar fabric and a nice man to reupholster it. It actually turned out well considering how I found it. I have to admit that at first Farmguy wasn’t too excited when I announced this furniture was going in the parlor. 😉
Yes, I believe Clementine has most things figured out around here. She is a pretty clever kitty. 🙂

What a pretty cat! Her markings are lovely. My two are not lap cats. I wish they were. The best I get is a head butt from behind when Chrissy sit on the back of the sofa!

Haha! She’s sooo cute, that Clementine! Our pets tend to hang around the space heater when we turn it on. Just like sunspots or fevered humans, they always find the warmest places!

That’s so nice! Thank you. I agree about animals finding the warmest spots. After all, they like to be comfortable just like us. When I went to feed the sheep and barn cats yesterday, the sheep were laying on piles of hay on the ground. They had made “beds”from the bits of uneaten hay.

Oh how adorable your life on the farm must be! (And hard work!) But so much precious, too.
One of the cutest things my dog does is rearrange the bedding in her crate. Do you know what I’m talking about? I can barely stand the cuteness when she does it. Gah! So cute. lol

You’re right. Farm life can be challenging, but there are many beautiful aspects of it as well. I try not to be too focused on chores, but present enough to observe those meaningful moments during my daily routine.
I know what you mean…our dogs do that as well. They go around and around until they get it just right. They are adorable! 🙂

It may be hard to go and check out my cat-sitting friend’scalico cats post. It was how Kira and Tayla were always getting into trouble as two barn kitties who are “sisters.” But I couldn’t help smiling when I saw your Clementine. 🙂
