I think it's happening. I think spring is being birthed here in The North.
My apartment building's parking lot lake / skating rink |
We've gone from snow snow everywhere more snow to parking lot lakes (that masqueraded as skating rinks each morning) ...
My apartment building's parking lot ... finally minus the lake / rink! |
... to almost bare parking lots, and I have actually been wearing SHOES instead of winter boots! My feet have been SCREAMING to be released from winter boots, so this is a very good thing! (My feet are rebellious and prefer nekkidness to footwear.) As you can see from the photo above, we still have snowbanks here, so it's not tank top and sandals weather just yet.
Bridget is sitting on the non-sunny side of the street, so HER toes still need the winter boots! |
Do YOUR animals get fractious when spring starts to spring? Miz Boots has certainly become a handful this past 10 days. She bugs me CONSTANTLY to open the patio door so she can go out onto the balcony ... but it's not quite warm enough to hang around our outdoor balcony very long so she promptly starts bugging me to get back in ... in and out ... out and in ... in and out ... out and in ... in and out ... out and in ... in and out ... out and in ... well, you get the idea!
Yesterday, she pulled a totally unexpected stunt ...
Ceiling cat ... up exploring the cows! WTF? |
Treated myself to one of these the other Friday evening ...
The Real Thing! Mm mmm good! (When did they start making these glass bottles again?) |
If The Boots keeps acting up, I might be inclined to treat myself to something a little stronger. Happy Big Melt, y'all!
