Finally (something like) Spring
Today - according to the calendar - it’s spring. It doesn’t look like spring. The winds are blowing and snow is coming down from the skies. But we know it’s spring. Because we were at the summer house this weekend. And we saw spring… look…
When we arrived everything was white, but the Humans said it was thaw, so the snow would disappear soon. There was a lot of snow on our terrace and we don’t like that much snow - much too cold. But the Woman shovelled it all away! So we could go outside and look for spring. And it was there; birds were singing and building nests, the sun was shining, little green things were sprouting from the earth.
We were both outside in our courtyard. There were lots of snow there too, but Olivia braved it to go and sit on her favourite stone…
Temperatures were above zero all weekend so we could stay outside for a long time. We didn’t sleep for most of the night; we just sat and snoopervised night creatures outside the house. It was good to be back. The Humans seemed to think so too. So we spent the Sunday relaxing…
The Humans took pictures of course - and even videos (we’ll post some later). But they’re not always that clever with a camera. This is me, Cliff, running from evil snow…
Can’t wait to go back.
Cliff & Olivia
Wow, good pics…you sure spring is here???

Oh, if you have spring there can you please tell it to head our way soon too - we are so tired of the cold!

We have Spring coming too. We go out and sniff the Spring flowers and look at the leaf buds on the trees.

We’re so glad you got to go to the summer house! But it’s hard to think it’s spring with all that white stuff still around!

We have 3 more weeks until spring, but we are having very spring-like weather now. It makes us purrrr.

I am still laughing about that last picture, I hope you didn’t get too dizzy ! We don’t have any sign of spring yet but the cats are all waiting ! Yesterday Arthur did some fur spring cleaning in the middle of the street ! Fortunately we don’t have traffic !

Spring doesn’t offishully start here in England (UK) until March 20th ~ but already we have buds and flowers in full bloom. Just bring on the Sun, we are ready.

It’s the start of Autumn here in Australia. I’m not overly happy about that.

Actually, that last picture of Cliff is very cool! As for the portrait of Olivia - just lovely!
Isn’t it wonderful to feel that spring might be not too far away?!

It feels like forever since I dropped by…what lovely photos! Yes, Spring is here in the Pacific Northwest too, and doesn’t it fill you with hope and fun?

We love your Summer House! It was such a good idea of your humans to build this garden for you. No surprise you like it that much. After the bad storm we had the temps have dropped again. Right now it’s pouring down with rain. We’re unfazed by that though, because Spring is definitely just around the corner.
Purrs, Siena & Chilli

How beautiful you look with your black fur outside in all of that white cold stuff. Did your feet get cold?

We’re so glad you got to spend time at your summer house. It’s nice that you got to explore in the snow a little too. Snow is most enjoyable when you know spring is on its way. Great pictures!
