What’s Happening???

Not too many days ago we were outside enjoying the sunshine and warmer temps.  The birds were singing, the grass was turning green, some flowers were coming up………

Even our catnip was growing and Mom gave us some of it.

Now today it was gray, very windy, cold and then know what?

Those stupid white flakes started swirling around out there again!!!

Did Mom arrange this so we wouldn’t be so upset about staying inside while she goes and does that work thing?

Did the weather humans turn the wrong page on the calendar?

Whatever it is, we don’t like it.    The only thing I didn’t like about playing outside the other day is that the stupid trees decided to start dropping things all over the place.  When we walk outside, those sticky things get stuck in our fur

I have to work and work on my feet to get those stupid sticky things off of them!

I’ve been having the same problem.  Just look at my handsome foot!  Those rude trees shouldn’t do stuff like that.

It looks so much better without the sticky things!

Flakes or sticky things?  We’re not sure which is worse!

Hey, did Mom go get some more catnip yet? We don’t want to go out and walk in the sticky things.

IT’S HERE!!!!! IT’S HERE!!!!!!!!

This was less than a week ago:

Last April Snow

This was our glorious spring weekend:

Mom got some flowers to put out on the deck so we would know it’s spring.

This wasn't here before.  I wonder if Mom bought it for me.....

I'm too busy rolling in the dirt and leaves.  When I do that I know Mom will get the brush out and she'll brush me...and then I'll roll in the dirt and leaves again....and she'll brush me....and then.........

You know...it feels so good to lie out here in the sun again.  I'm so glad they got new batteries for it.

Shakespeare....have you seen Axel outside lately?  I wish he'd come out so we could run up and down the fence together.

From the Mom:  As you can see, the boys were so excited that spring finally came to our area.  They had so much fun outside.  Me?  Well, instead of pushing snow around I was raking up leaves and seed pods and checking to see what plants were starting to come up again.  Thanks to all of the boys’ friends who kept telling them that spring really would come again.  I hope everyone had as much fun as we did this weekend!
