I found a subtle sign of Spring in my garden last weekend. These tiny Crocus’ popped through last Fall’s leftover leaves to add some color to the otherwise drab winter scenery.

Gabriel is as cute as can be and has the longest whiskers that I’ve seen on a cat! He is also a thief! All three cats love the turbo scratcher toy that features a round track with a ball that they can bat around and a corregated cardboard center for scratching. We have 3 turbo scratchers and not one of them still has the ball in it!
It didn’t take Gabriel long to figure out how to remove the ball from the track so that he can chase it around the house! I have spent many hours searching under furniture and appliances with a flashlight to try and find the balls. To date, I have located one! The other two are still MIA! I now keep the ball out of the track when I’m not supervising their playtime so that this one doesn’t disappear as well. This is why we can’t have nice things, Gabriel!!! If anyone has any suggestions for how to keep the ball from being easily removed from the track, please share. It has to still be able to roll around, but needs to be just a smidge larger so it can’t come out of the track!

If snowflakes are kisses from heaven, we will be receiving a LOT of kisses from loved ones tonight and tomorrow! Our part of Pennsylvania is expecting 8″-15″ of snow from the Nor’easter that will be meandering up the East Coast over the next 24 hours. To anyone venturing out in the storm … please be safe!

I am never happy when the word Nor’easter appears in the weather forecast. Nor’easter storms come up the Atlantic coastline with winds blowing from the northeast. In winter, they are often accompanied by a LOT of snow. March has certainly come in like a lion with heavy rain yesterday and snow/wind today. The fierce winds had the snow blowing sideways earlier this afternoon which allowed it to stick to the trees in the forest and present a beautiful scene for a photograph!

Just like the bumble bee, I’m hanging on with dear life to the last blossoms of summer. Oh how I miss the bright vivid colors of nature during the gray days of winter!
