A warm spring day

Today Suki spent the day outside again. The weather has turned springlike, all of a sudden, and although there are still remnants of snowbanks on the north sides of the property, the blustery South wind has brought some fine warm temperatures. I sat outside with Suki and Rowena for the first time since October without my jacket on. We have some lovely crocuses and snowdrops in bloom in our yard to herald the beginning of spring, but there are no signs of buds on the trees or greening of the grass yet. Suki is not inclined to come in at all when we went to work, or in the afternoon. She is quite content to sit on a large pile of oak leaves near the brick wall of the garage and puts heavy brakes on if we ask her if she wants to come in after a walk.

The dinner update for this evening: dinner was politely refused. Suki did accept several crunchy treats, as well as a piece of stale French toast and a burnt waffle and some cold milk. She indicated that she would like more waffles and French toast, but she had already eaten all of my breakfast-food leftovers that I had. Rowena was jealous of the entire snacking proceedings and would not stop meowing until I had given her some of my dinner (hamburgers). She normally does not get table scraps, but it is hard to refuse in the face of such obvious donations to Suki. Ned, meanwhile, escaped out the door in a huff and did not come back for several hours. Ned has now forgotten that he was ever upset and is wondering why he did not get any dinner.

That's all for tonight. More updates tomorrow!
