Spring

It's finally spring here. Mom washed the inside of some of the windows and then threw them open to let the breeze go through the house. A couple she washed were in her office. I like the smell of spring breezes. An open window was so irresistible.

Mom couldn't see me at first because of the way the windows are divided. She got a little worried I'd jumped off the deck. I'm not allowed to do that. No mom. I'm right here.

There are so many smells. I'm just checking things out. Are you going to come out and wash the outside of the windows so I can really see out when I sit by the window?

I explored the deck railing just a bit farther from the house.

Mom said this was as far as I could go. Actually, this is fine with me. There can be some loud noises, like the motorcycle of the guy who lives next door, that scare me. Mom gave me a combing today too, to help get rid of my winter coat and the breeze through my fur was really nice.

After awhile, though, I'd rather be closer to mom so I can have ear scratches, so I came inside.

She said the window will stay open unless it gets too chilly for her so I'm welcome to stay here all day. My sister isn't interested in going out on the deck. She would rather sleep in the chair on the other side of mom.

Hooray for spring! How is it by you?

Love,

Spring Is Coming

This past weekend was wonderfully warm. Mom kept trying to get us to come outside, but she should know by now that Mija and I just don't care for the out of doors, even if she's standing on the deck with the door open. So, she gave up, but she decided the house needed to be aired out, and she opened a window.

I hopped up onto the shelf and stuck my face in the warm breeze. WOW. You could smell a change in the weather. Mom didn't open the window far enough that I could be tempted to go out on the sill. I could just sit in the sunshine and the warm breeze.

After giving the air a lot of sniffs, I sat down to bask in the sunshine. Man was that nice. It's been so cold that I got kind of hot sitting here. Mom went into the living room to do some cross-stitch and I followed her, after a bit.

I decided that even with all the sunshine, sitting on the cat tree watching mom was the best place to be.

Hope spring is coming where you are.

Love,

Windows!

It's finally warm enough that mom took the plastic off the windows. She covers them in the winter. She says it makes our house warmer and the gas bills smaller.

This past week has been perfect for window sitting.

There was a great breeze from the south that kept the fur at just the right temperature, even with the sunshine. The neighbors have dogs who sometimes see me in the window and start barking. Silly dogs.

I'm glad it's spring. Mom will take us outside for a bit, but there are so many noises that Mija and I don't stay out there that long. Oh, excuse me. There is something outside I need to watch.

I hope those of you who had crappy weather over Mother's Day have warm, sunny days with breezes.

See you next week.

There Are Rumors

We have had a few days where this temperature thing is warm enough to be out on the deck.

Some of that white stuff is still in the back yard, but I'm not allowed to go there anyway. Plus, that stuff is cold and the ground is wet. I'm content to stretch.

And just be on the deck. Wait! Is that the sound of a robin?

Hmmm...I don't know.

The weather is getting better here. I like the warm sunshine.

See you next week.

Sitting Pretty

Mom likes it when I sit like this. She says I look so pretty.

It's comfortable.

Spring is here on Thursday. We've been tempted. We've had some nicer days so mom lets me come out and sit on the deck. We can smell it coming.

I can't wait for mom to put the deck chairs on the deck so we can sit out there.

See you next week.
