It has been warm and sunny here and the doors and windows have been open a lot. Mom says that means spring is here. She has been working outside a little, getting the herb garden cleaned up and starting to re-pot the potted plants that survived the winter. She cleaned off the deck, put away the chair covers and brought out the cushions. She puttered around for a long time, rearranging furniture and plants.
We watched the birds on the garage roof from the dining room window and door. They weren’t deterred from gathering the seeds dropped by the big tree by mom’s bustling around.
Mom decided it was so beautiful out when she was done that she needed to sit out there with a glass of wine. She saw us staring at her through the screen door and she decided to let Ocean out. She always thinks she can trust him not to run away. Not much of anything scares him and he moves pretty slowly. Not that he’s old or anything, we are the same age, he is just lazy and unobservant. Echo and I watched him roll around in the sun and disappear out of our sight as he explored. I wanted to be out there, too, but I was a little nervous about it.
After Ocean was out for a while and she saw how much he was enjoying it, mom decided to let me come out!! I looked around to make sure no dogs were about then smelled and rubbed on all the nearby furniture.
Of course, I had to roll around in the sunshine, too, and then check out all the wonderful smells. Once that was accomplished, I ventured a little farther out and even went into the grass.
Ocean went to say hi to Echo who was still watching through the screen door. He is a scaredy-cat so mom won’t let him out without being on a harness. She said he can come out next time. I think she was just too busy relaxing and drinking her wine to go get his harness.
Ocean and I really enjoyed our time out, but guess what. It is supposed to start raining again this afternoon for the whole weekend. Mom says she has to put the cushions back in the garage and we have to wait to go out again. Mom says that means spring is here!
I hope your spring is beautiful.

It’s super that you got to go out in the sun. We don’t have anywhere safe for me to go altho I hear I’ll be going out next week. Oh, BTW I’m using a foto you chose in tomorrow’s Frenzy.
I’m so bummed that mom hasn’t had time to help me visit. I’ll definitely stop by tomorrow!
It does look really beautiful there! I would want to sit out in that sunshine too. I’m glad that you got to have some fresh air! 🙂
Seems like you guys had a great time outside! Spring hasn’t arrived here yet, but I hope it will arrive soon too 🙂

Looks like you had a fun outdoor adventure. My humans have also been out doing a lot of spring gardening, but I prefer to stay indoors.
Hi Christy! We are having a tough time convincing Spring to STAY. We will have a couple of nice days – then cold again – and this morning WET SNOW! We want pretty weather and it’s having a hard time getting to us!!!
Love, Sammy
It sure does look like spring has sprung….at least there. We still have snow, then rsin, then gusts of wind and finally sun. Not spring yet over here.

You guys are so lucky! I only get to go out on my harness (and sometimes Binga too) because it’s my human who’s the huge scaredycat! She worries that we’ll get startled and NOT run for the door, or that some coyote will snatch us before she can stop it (which has actually happened in our neighborhood, so she may have a point). Although maybe I should just be glad I get outside time at all.
How lucky that you got some outside time. It may be spring, but here, someone forgot to send the memo to Mother Nature. It’s snowing right now! Yuck!
What an adventure! Our weather has been very cool and rainy this week 🙁 Mudpie would love some outside time.
Glad you got to have some fun. Me’s been strollin’ and enjoyin’ da outside air too. But yeah storms are a big pawrt of our spring too, so me will enjoy da strolls when me can.
Luv ya’

We don’t get it very often so we really love it when we do.
How pawsome dat ya got some outside time!
I know, huh? I’m hoping to get more soon.
What fun!!!! It all looks very pretty!!
It was so much fun!
Phoebe is jealous of that nice long grass you have, she would mow it all down for you if she could. Looks like you had a lot of fun.
Mom says the grass is out of control! A nice neighborhood elf mowed our front lawn a few days ago but not the back. Mom doesn’t have a mower and it is hard to find people here. Mostly they weed wack!!
what a lovely adventure! Just seeing the sunshine and how cute you are makes me smile!
Aw, thanks. We had such a good time.
