Our first sunbath ☼

Sun is an important aspect of good care.
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!

brattcat zei

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.

Martha and Bailey zei

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!!

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.

JM zei

I'm happy for you, Anya!:-) I can see the melting snow is showing some surprises, that's great!
