Our weather has definitely taken a nosedive over the
last 2 weeks or so.  Somewhat chillier in the daytime
than is normal for us along with even chillier nights.
Last night we were down to 26°F (-3.33°C) 🥶 and I'd
made up my mind earlier in the week when I strip the
bed today the comforter would be joining the blanket
and lightweight quilt on my bed.

Anybody else been piling blankets and quilts on their
bed in the last few day??  Ed & Jill, you can tell us
you've been running the a/c as you sweat just reading
this post.

LOL I don't know about Ed but it got colder here on Thanksgiving, high
temps in the 40's and again today.  It finally feels like Fall.  I've
had the heat on.  I still won't need a quilt on my bed, though.

The woman who rescued Cleo dropped her off at my house yesterday
morning.  I let Cleo out of the carrier in my bedroom.  She hid under
the bed, as expected.  She started coming out gradually when I'd go in
the bedroom and call her name.  She made a bee-line for the food bowls,
then she'd go back under the bed.  But now she's coming out almost
immediately when I walk in say her name, and she's letting me pet her.

I thought she was a grey tabby with a white face and bib.  Turns out
she's actually brown with black spots and stripes on her body and two
white stockings on her back feet.  I'll try to get some pics when she's
more comfortable in her new surroundings.  She's a beautiful kitten!

She is settling in very quickly!!  Pema took three weeks
to accept this is new home.  Pepper took over two months
before she'd let me touch her or even see her.

I got lucky with this little girl.  Settling in very quickly indeed! This evening she discovered snoozing on top of the bed is much more comfortable than hiding underneath it. :)  And yes, she lets me pet her and if I lean towards her she gives me a head bump.  It's comical.  I'm letting her deal with things at her own pace but she seems to be quite happy.
Meanwhile, I'm watching 'The Crawling Eye', a cheesy old horror movie on TV (Svengoolie) which is ridiculously stupid.
