Spring kitties and flowers

Too many words below, we need a few kitty pics!

First, Louie in a new kitchen nest box. I picked this box up at Costco when i bought stuff for the book club dinner a couple of weeks ago, and it's just the right size to contain the old kitchen nest box!

Fuzzy kept me company while i was making the bat mitzvah cards.

Sylvie was there too, laying in the cat bed that she and Lesley both used to like when it was in the living room. I had to move it to the basement because there wasn't any room for it anymore, and i never saw any of the cats using it. Of course, when i went to take Sylvie's picture she woke up and hopped out of the nest!
Gingy helped snoopervise the making of the matzo cover.
I've been wanting to post pictures of my cheerful little anemone blanda (i think they're also called "Grecian windflowers") that are naturalizing themselves like crazy in my lawn, but each time i've been outside with the camera, they've been sulking because it's been too cloudy for them. Finally Wednesday morning it was sunny and they were happily open.
My purple hyacinths were even more open. Would be nice if i had smell-o-vision so i could share their wonderful perfume!

  1. my hyacinths are now nearing their end but their smell was beautiful. I do so love all your cats and Louie is so much like Karmen. Our next door neighbours now have a kitten called Prince and Prince is also the same colouring as Karmen. Last night Nigel, Karl and I popped over for a cuppa and met the new addition to the household. Take care, have a good day. Judith

  2. Yes, I can smell the intoxicating scent of those hyacinths! The most beautiful of spring bulbs I think! I love the delicate anemones, they are another of my faveourites but I don't have any. I also love foxgloves and lupins, those plants really sum up the summer for me!
    Ooh, I love my garden so much!
    'Snoopervising' should go in the dictionary, it's such a great word, haha!

  12. We love the Anemone blanda! Mom has a nice increasing batch of Anemone nemorosa and they are very pretty too.
    You are all invited to come over tomorrow and celebrate in the garden. It's Siena's first birthday! And it's mom's birthday too!
    Purrs, Chilli
