Yep – I sure do…….I think Spring got lost on its’ way to our house – and actually to a LOT of people’s houses. I’m tired of it too – my Mom practically got blown down into the woods this morning while she was filling up the bird/deer/squirrel/whatever feeders in our backyard. She was filling them up when a BIG gust of wind came along, ripped the bag of sunflower seeds right out of her hands and she lost her footing for a minute. She could have rolled all the way down the hill (well maybe not quite but it sounds dramatic doesn’t it??). Point is, the wind is ridiculous. And Cold. And ridiculous (oh I already said that).
Dad I think I just heard Mom yell “HELP” out by the bird feeders!!!
We want Spring. Seriously. Weird week though – brought temps in the 70s, plunging into the 30s and 20s, tomorrow in the high 50s, next couple of days in the 60s then SNOW SHOWERS AGAIN???? HUH????? Are you kidding me????
***sound of cat hyperventilating*** Oh forgive me……I’m just so ready for the weather to get nice and stay nice. Mom and Dad are too. I know lots of you have it a whole lot worse – I read on some blogs that some of you have TWENTY INCHES of snow on the ground and some of you even more than that……so at least I can say we don’t currently have any snow left. That’s ONE thing I can say “woo hoo” about right? OK – thanks for letting me vent……..I feel tons better now. 🙂 🙂
Did you know Monday is St. Patrick’s Day? I did…..I have two St. Pat’s pawties to go to – the TCC and Cat Scouts. Not only that but tomorrow I’m in the DOGTONA Speedway car race at Ranger and Stuart’s big barkday party. That should be a hoot. And if that wasn’t enough fun – Mollie is having a “naughty underwear” blog hop on the 19th. So even though the weather stinks, there’s plenty of fun to be had in blogville. YAY!
So will you be attending any Saint Patrick’s Day parties? Will you wear something GREEN on “the day”…..Mom says if you don’t, you can get pinched. I sure don’t want to be pinched so I might let Mom put a green ribbon on me – I said MIGHT!!!! No promises!!!!
Oh poor you sammy,spring has sprung here the days are warmish and sunny but the nights are oh so cold the frost is that think everything is white till the sun warm up oh and we have lots of fog over night and in the morning too,but from mid morn every thing is great with NO rain woohoo!Not doing anything for st Patricks day just spendin time in the garden,your scout photo looks great,xx Speedy

Mom is on her way to green up Sampson and Astrid and Mau for the St. Pat’s Day party at Scouts. Sampson has invited Astrid to attend with him. Have a super terrific weekend.
