The Meep's Meow

The Last Patch of Snow

So I'm watching meowmie patrol the perimeter of our property before she came inside last night and when she came in I asked her what she found.

"Well, Meep," she said. "There are some tulips and maybe a hyacinth or two poking out some leaves under the front bushes. I don't think you can see them yet from your perch in the window but they are there and soon they will be tall and blooming and pretty for you to look at."

"Huh," I said. "What else did you find?"

"Pretty much the same along the back fence," she said, "except there are lots of daffodils. No tulips or hyacinths waking up yet."

"Anything else?" I inquired as I licked and groomed my toes and sides.

"Yes, Meep. You won't believe what I found in addition to the bits of day lilies, geraniums and other things along the driveway."

"What what," I asked as I bonked my head on her leg and stretched up with my paws.

"I found snow!"

"Come on, mom. Snow? Its already been above freezing on and off for 2 or three weeks. Snow?"

"Yes, Meep," she said. "Most definitely the last patch of snow, about a foot wide, a couple of inches thick, and about three feet long."

"That's amazing," I said as I looked up at her with my roundest eyes. "Now will you please feed me?"

Five things I like about Spring

Thank you to Moe Moe for inviting us all to play. Please join in.

1-Longer days means more napping.
2-More napping means more energy to chase Bibi!
3-More and different types of birdies to watch.
4-No more cold toes.
5-Still cool enough at night to snuggle but warm enough to prowl.

Cat Nipped

Spring is in the air . . . well, the indoor air anyhow. Meowmie forced a bunch of hyacinths and they opened up pink, lavender, blue and white and smelling sooo strong and interesting. She put them up on a shelf we can't reach. But the last dish of bulbs has some little blue grape hyacinths with skinny little nice leaves. So I just had to taste some. And so did Bibi. Meowmie tells us not to chew on them and they look terrible and are not getting any flowers. So we have more or less stopped although we are not admitting anything out loud. Should anyone ask, they have not been chewed, they've been cat-nipped! MOL MOL MOL!!!
