Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2007Sign of Spring
It's still pretty rough here-- it all has that kind of dirty, worn left-over late winter look. But it is officially spring in my postage-stamp backyard. My purple and white crocuses are up, and snoozing happily among them, is a big, round-faced orange-and -white tabby tom from down the street. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War We have tulips and daffodils coming up - but no crocuses. Ours seem to prefer a fall blooming. We planed some in the corners of the lawn where the walkways intersect, but now they don't come up there - they're coming up yards away! Every fall! Actually, our daffodils in the front are in full bloom. We just planted some white petunias on Ivy's (RB) grave. We also ringed it with landscaping stones and covered it with mulch. I sure hope it stays nice there, and doesn't get all covered with crabgrass - that I spend two hours yesterday digging and pulling out instead of doing my school homework!!! -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

Works great on crabgrass!

Around here, we seem to have gone from winter to summer and sorta skipped spring. Our beautiful daffodils committed suicide earlier, blooming when it was 75 degrees one day and 20 the next. They're all gone as well as the crocuses and tulips - so it's time to plant summer flowers. For which we have little hope 'cuz our weather forecasters predict that this summer will be the hottest and driest in over 50 years!! I believe it - - it's not even April yet and the heat/dryness is wreaking havoc already over most of the Valley!!

My crocuses are coming up, the cats bask in the sun in their enclosure, and there is no trace of snow anywhere any more. It's been over 10 C every day for the past week or so. We usually have this kind of weather in late April, early May. I have a week off work after Easter, and me and my brother have been talking about going out to the island for a few days, at least, if the weather stays this warm.

I know what you mean - I hate that left-over late winter look! Not exactly the pristine, Christmas-card sparkly whiteness of early winter. You should come to the Bay Area sometime in March. After a winter of rain, but with temperatures warm enough to support growth, the entire region is blanketed in emerald green. Even this year, with very low rainfall, it's all "greened up" right now. > But it is officially spring in my > postage-stamp backyard.

What a great image. I love kitty visitors. Joyce > > It's still pretty rough here-- it all has that kind of dirty, worn > > left-over late winter look.

One regular visitor went to RB under my shrub one hot day a couple of years ago, and I had to call someone to scoop the poor thing up and take him away.

They must have been blooming around begin of March. We found them, when we removed tons of leaves, acoms, conkers and fallen branches from the trees. Yesterday our lawn had its first cut this year:-) Purrs Inge and the catgang SignatureCatManiacs World: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge |
