Gray Skies and Nap Time

Boo

Munchkin

I am feeling much better than I was earlier this week in terms of kicking the head cold, but yesterday I took a nap with the cats for two hours in the afternoon. Thankfully I woke up and mowed the lawn before the rain came back last night.






Today has been wet, but not while I ran my errands this morning which was nice. I am going to try and get back into a groove of leaving the house early for work and walking from the Cordata Station to get more excercise.
I am going to take another nap, and will probably be asleep within 5 minutes it feels like. The gray skies are going to help for sure ☺

And to all my fellow feline mommas out there, Happy Mother's Day!

Cat Sitting at the Next Best Place to the Museum

I cat sat Tucker & Jimi for Steve and Naomi this weekend. The boys enjoyed going out every afternoon for a little while.

We had such beautiful weather, and they went to Minnesota where it just snowed. But here's an ironic twist; I caught a head cold in our 75° temperatures!

There was a lot of activity downtown this weekend - and perfect weather for it all.

The flowers are some of their rhodies' in bloom.

Spring Flowers

Lilacs

Sweet Peas

I clipped one of the lilacs from the bush out front, and oh man, I love the aroma! I am so nostalgic every spring about lilacs, because of the one we had outside our front door back home in Kazoo. Smelling it every morning on
the way to school, and coming home. Ahh...







I finally got my Sweet Pea starts potted yesterday. It was interesting, the roots were actually poking through the bottom of the little peat pots I started them in, I don't remember seeing that last spring. I am hoping these do really well again this year, they are certainly off to a good start.

Sunshine in Bellingham

We are experiencing some beautiful weather here in Bellingham this weekend. It started mid week with some glorious sunshine and warm temperatures during the day, but still some cool nights.
I was online last night catching regional news, and saw this article in the Seattle P.I. about a school here in Bellingham that closed for sunshine yesterday.

I thought it was pretty comical and shows how much we love a sunny day in the spring. But I also liked how in touch the principal is with his inner child and wanted to give his students a day off to enjoy it. Here is the Bellingham Bay webcam.
