we all love the sun ☼
and it is essential to good health for all of us ....
After many grey weeks with many snow *
we had a surpise today .....
The sun ☼ was shining !!
Yeahhhhh...... incredible but true :-)

The white color in my garden had disappeared.
I was sitting today on my bench in the garden !!
I really enjoyed,
I closed my eyes and I felt the warm summer sun ☼
in my face ~ wonderful feeling ~ :-)
Today I saw that the spring bulbs come out !!!!
I took a few pictures ....
Above you see:
In Dutch we say Sneeuwklokje (Galanthus nivalis)
Above you see:
Crocus
Above you see:
Narcissen ( daffodil ) & Hyacint ( hyacinth )
Meow..meow..meow..
I was today by Suzanne (my human sister) on her room
and I had taken a long sunbath ☼
she has a large window
I could take there a long nap on her desk.
It feels so good and warm meow..meow..
It was a relaxing day !!
=^.^=
The weather forecast for the weekend:
maybe snow and cold :(
Where's Anya tomorrow ?
Sitting on the bench in the sun ☼
( I will full enjoy ;)
Maybe I'll get a brown tan on my face
LOL

Fantastic news!!! And Kareltje, you look so marvelous in the sunlight!
Oh, it's true, Kareltje, napping in pools of sunlight can't be beat. On clear days, the sun climbs up our staircase every afternoon and I climb with it as the light shifts from one step to the next. It makes me feel sooooo sleepy and content.
There is nothing nicer than feeling the warmth of the sun on your fur - or your face if you a human!
The spring flowers are beginning to come through.
Snowdrops are our favourites.
We hope you have more sun tomorrow to rejuvenate you!
love and kisses

Hi Kareltje - oh, sunshine, how we wish we had sunshine here too! It cheers you up so much don't you think? Our humans have just come back from a holiday where the sun shone every day, but sadly the sun did not shine over our kennels. Oh well, we're sure the sun will come back here eventually!! Schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.
Hi Kareltje and Anya,
Hooray for sunshine! We're glad you both had a chance to soak up some warmth before the cold and snow come back this weekend. In any case, the springtime and warmer weather are coming. :)
Your friends at Animal Shelter Volunteer LIfe
You are so lucky! We've had some sun too, but it is still burr cold!
Kareltje, you look wonderful in the sunbeams!...xo...Calle, Halle, Sukki
great pictures!
The sun always brightens our day, doesn't it!
Beautiful photos!
Wow! Hurray for spring bulbs! I am glad that you enjoyed your sunbath Kareltje!
Wonderful. We hope for those too when we get to the Summer House.
C&O: Humans, When are we going to the Summer House??!?
Humans: Soon, C&O, soon, we just need some better weather.
C&O: Sigh.
How lovely! Enjoy all the sunshine you can. And you are so lucky to have the spring flowers coming up! :-)
I can feel the warmth of that sunshine all the way to Minnesota! Thanks!
Yes, we also have had some nice sunny days in California. It was wonderful. I love your precious face and beautiful fun.
Hooray, enjoy the sunshine and the spring bulbs! Kareltje looks so content in the sun. :)
Yay for sunbeams!
What beautiful cat photographs! Kareltje is gorgeous! And your bulbs! I'm a little jealous -- it will be at least two more months before we see signs of bulbs! Hooray!
The sun and Spring flowers make us happy too. We had some sunshine two days ago, but now we are back to rain.
Hi Anya and Kareltje! We haven't visited you in a while. So glad to see you've got some sunshine! We have too, after a LONG time of cloudy, snowy weather. We plan on taking sunbaths ALL weekend!!

Hier hebben we ook allemaal van het betere weer genoten. Al is het ook niet helemaal gedaan nog met kou en wat niet al. Kan niet wachten op de lente. Kareltje ligt in ieder geval lekker te genieten van de zon.
Sweet Kareltje, enjoy the sun while you can! I'm glad you got to have such a warm, sunny nap today! I love the sun too! I think you look so wonderful!

P.S. Our mom said she wants to plant Sneeuwklokje (Galanthus nivalis - we call them "snowdrops" here) for next year after seeing them on other people's blogs. They bloom so early!

We've enjoyed rain in Las Vegas a lot in the past month as well as the sun. We don't get rain much at all, so I love it when it comes. Enjoy the sun. Love the pictures.
I think you love very much the spiring
I am right?
Oh lucky you! I'd love to feel some warmth from the sun. We've just had a very bad snowstorm with about 1.2 metres of snow! Sun is bright - but very very cold.

And you look marvelous.
Love and sun :)
JA
Thanks for the nice pictures I love your cat.
A strong hugg for you.
Dear Anya
The story you found in my blog, is in swahili language, so far no translator is working.
But the story is about 17 people(including children, youngest being 6 months) of the same clan were slaughtered in one night just a week ago as a revenge following 3 people who were murdered as prime suspect for being goat thieves more than 5 years ago. Their relatives were angered and planned for revenge. No body expect such brutality act forget about revenge, now my story is that another man in the same area was killed yesterday and after being suspected/proven to assists thugs and cattle thieves within the area, after he was killed, they set fire on him and burns all his properties including 7 houses(huts) and food storeThe killers, set free all other members of killed man family. My worries are that.... revenge, because that area is notorious for such acts, however they come in episodes. But when they come, innocent souls are lost in pain. I gave a joke, that region should be moved to Somalia or Afghanistan so that people will learn the value of life, because there they will live in constant fear, when they come back, may be they will change.
I'm happy for you, Anya!:-) I can see the melting snow is showing some surprises, that's great!
