Perfect Weather - Rainy Monday




Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were blissfully sunny and warm -- perfect for outdoor activities, as well as throwing open all the windows to circulate fresh air throughout the winter-stale house and invite kitties to windowsills for a bit of air and sun.

This morning, it was raining. How perfect can Monday weather be? Nothing to tempt me to play "hooky" and take an unscheduled vacation day, just to be IN the sunshine, birdsong, and sweet smell of newly-cut grass!

Here's to perfect weekends and rainy Mondays,

hyacinths that survived April snow,

daffodils and narcissus that bloom brilliantly on their bowed stems despite the April snow,

the luxury of a weekend-long "sleep over" -- time and space for old friends to catch up after 10 years,

kitties that are puddles of contented fur (even if one of them still has a plastic feeding tube attached),

and the peaceful quiet of a house that is home, complete with dust bunnies.
