Snow and Celebrations!

Lily

Lily here today wishing you all a very Happy Valentine's Day from our house to yours!  It is a big day for us - it is Pop's 65th Birthday (yes he is THAT old!)!!!  Here he is is from a baby to his freshman year in high school.

And then...it is the human's anniversary - Mom picked this day so Pop would never forget what day their anniversary was!  They have been together for 26 years - pretty amazing.  Here they are from when they met in CT, in Germany on vacation, at Cape Cod, in FL (where they adopted Angel Chica and Angel Yoko) and then NC!

All us cats chipped in and are sending them to a great restaurant for dinner tonight - hoping they can get out and into town after all the snow we had this week. 

Looking down our driveway!

So whatever you do and where every you are, celebrate LOVE today - we leave you with this poem Mom loves by E. E. Cummings

“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet)I want no world (for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)”

Happy Groundhog Day!

{Alarm Clock 5:59 changes to 6:00} [Music “Then put your little hand in mine. There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb. Babe, I got you babe. I got you babe.”] “Okay, campers, rise and shine. Don't forget your booties because it's cold out there today. It's cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach? … Do you think Phil will come out and see his shadow? Punxsutawney Phil. That's right, woodchuck chuckers. It's Groundhog Day!”

Recognize the scene from the movie? Looks like Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow so we are in for six more weeks of winter. There is debate that he really did see his shadow but hey, it does look like we will have a whiter than normal winter this year!

Look at all the snow we got this week! Today is rain and sleet and Friday more snow! Phil may be right.

The cats have a nice spot in the sun the day after the snow - peering out the windows. Smidge enjoyed the one day of warm sunshine from her porch before more clouds and rain moved in today.






We will all be glad to see spring come this year. For more Cats on Tuesday visit Gattina!

It's Good to be Indoors!
