Spring is on it’s way. …I can FEEL it!! I have a love/hate relationship with this time of the year….we haven’t had any snow in a while and the ground is becoming barer of any remains daily. Temperatures have soared in the high 40’s and there have been a couple days you hardly needed a coat on. YET….I live in Alaska and I know in my heart this is simply a fleeting reprieve from winter. It is after all, only February. There will be more snow even though it hardly seems possible at this juncture. But my heart remains optimistic, ready to believe THIS could be the one winter that ends early. This could be leading up to a summer for the record books, one reminiscent of the summer of 2005. A girl can dream.
My friend Carole and her husband were returning home last weekend, emptying the car of groceries etc., when the sounds of crying got their attention. They looked across the street to see a kitten running in their direction, soaked to the bone and very thin. So, of course, kitty has a new home. We went over to meet him last night and my heart absolutely melted. He is a little Siamese Blue Point kitten (just like Piper) and just the cutest thing ever. Very playful, very loveable. They already have two cats but “Moose” is ruling the roost already. There is no doubt God knew what he was doing when he made kittens and puppies so irresistible. They were not wanting additional animals but there was never any question they were taking him in. Why don’t I ever happen along kittens looking for a new home?? For all of Chris’ protesting that we don’t need any more animals, I know if we came upon a baby under those circumstances he would cave like a little girl.
I know I needed to post a new blog entry but if I don’t have a topic in mind I really am stretched to find something to talk about. My two sisters are together this week in Port Angeles and I’m missing it. All I can think about is all the fun and adventures they will be having and I’m missing out. I really hate that feeling. Next year I won’t miss it!
So 'Happy Spring' to one and all, hope yours is for real and not a fantasy.
For some reason, we are like magnets for lost dogs. I found a great border collie last summer and I would have given my eye-teeth to keep but she had a tag and we promptly called her peeps. I would do that same for a lost kitten, for sure!
