Spring is in the air

There’s such an immediate rush to right now. Like things can’t wait another second longer. It could be because spring has sprung and everything is flying, springing, greening, swimming, hopping and generally rushing head long into the season, or it could just be me.

On this wonderfully perfect first day of spring we opened all the doors and windows and let the house freshen a little.

The mailman brought a sweet and most welcome letter from my pen pall Laurel. I love good mail!

My cats are going a bit crazy. Morgan is hissing at Milo or at us if she doesn’t like something, and generally being a miserable cat form hell and Milo seems to have two settings these days: dead to the world under a blanket or running up the walls, tearing thru the house and jumping out of windows just for fun. He does this thing where he jumps out the window, runs around to the back door, runs thru the house to the open window and jumps out again. And he’ll do that over and over and over. What’s all that about?

I got the most beautiful bouquet of flowers as a gift from some friends who came for supper. It’s so giant and so fragrant, and has roses and orchids and hyacinths and proteas and all sorts of beautiful things. I’m feeling so lucky.

Actually, I love the flowers so much I’ve been moving them from room to room with me.

I’m leaving in three days and so will enjoy them every second of every day before I go.

    I can see why you bring them from room to room with you. My kitty has his crazy moments too lately…spring fever?

    I think I’d be moving the bouquet around with me too…VERY pretty!
    And the cat in the box…what a hoot! Sounds like the fur babies are feeling chipper ’cause Spring has arrived?!!! I’d love to watch this antic of window jumping …to house…and back to window.

    Your kitty is so sweet. Awww, seeing that letter from your pen pal makes me want to write letters to some of my friends. I still write to my pen pal from high school, over 40 years now.

    The flowers are stunning! Your cat must have spring fever for sure…I had to laugh at his antics 🙂

    Your bouquet is beautiful, I think I would take it from room to room with me too!! nothing says they have to stay put, right?
    Our cats have been up to tricks lately too! how weird is that. Must be a cat moon or something.
    Happy Spring!! I’m getting giddy at the prospect of future warmer temps.
    Peace~

    Happy Spring to you, Veronica!
    Your flowers are colorful and cheerful. Hope you have a wonderful trip.
    It’s fun to get a surprise card or letter in the mail. That always makes my day better.

    Such beautiful flowers, truly! I would be doing the same thing! I love that you have a penpal as well. There is much to be said in sending cards through the mail. It’s a lost treasured artform.

    Beautiful blooms! I move my flowers from room to room too!

    Those flowers are lovely! Orchids are my favorite, but they are so tricky to care for.

    Maybe the change in season/temperature is getting to the cats? My dogs are acting a little weird, too.

    We had a lovely 1st Day of spring here too but it’s still a bit chilly for window opening just yet.
    So funny about your cats. Especially the one that jumps out the window and then runs back in to do it all over again. Ours are strictly “indoor” cats but some occasionally sneak out the door and oh what fun they have until we haul them back inside again. – Wow that is one gorgeous bouquet your friends brought over.

    Have a great weekend!

    Oh the fresh air of Spring … infects everyone including the cats. Sounds to wonderful even though I am still waiting. Our birds are returning but the lake is still frozen and there is still snow on the ground though it is slowly melting away. Our time is soon, I think 🙂 Your flowers are magnificent and a generous thank you for the thoughtful supper invitation.. You are indeed blessed …

    milo is practicing his escape route .. sometimes harry races madly from one room to the other and back … sadly for him we have a very small apartment …

    Your cats are hilarious–isn’t it funny how they just seem to pick up on everything–they know you’re leaving, I’m sure that’s making them act a bit crazed, combined with sunshine and fruit blossoms–love fruit blossoms!! And that bouquet is AMAZING, wow. The cat in the box is too funny.
