It dropped below 30 degrees last night, so some of my neighbors threw blankets on top of their bushes. It's not like putting on a sweater. If the blanket doesn't cover the bush all the way to the ground, this does nothing to protect the bush. A fully covered bush gets warmth from the ground. And if the blankets are left there all day, the bush doesn't get any sunlight. The best protection is frost cloth, which is lightweight and lets sunlight through.
Mack loves this weather. He has Maine Coon genes, so his fur and paws are made for the cold. Daisy does not like the cold and she stays in the house until things warm up outside, and then she goes out for a little while.
Mack and Daisy have been getting along pretty well, adjusting to the idea that Nick is gone. Mack his picked up Nick's morning routine of walking the inside perimeter of the downstairs in the morning. Then he comes back up to the bathroom to keep me company during my shower. Daisy has picked up Nick's morning routine of licking us in the bed. Both of the cats come to hang out in the tv room in the evening. We both think Mack misses having a buddy to pal around with, but we are not ready to adopt a little brother for him right now. So we are a family of four.
