It’s snowing pink petals at my house.
The wind has blown most of the gorgeous cherry blossom petals off the tree and on to the sidewalk. It started earlier this week. A bit of wind. A touch of rain. Ok, a lot of rain and my trees are no longer the picture purrfect pink delight that they used to be.
From my bedroom window, I can see the tops of the trees. The part that you have to turn your neck and look straight up in the sky, to see. The blue jays visit there a lot. I have two that come almost every day. I have chickadees too. Lots of them. All sorts of them. I need to find that bird book that I bought a few years ago and find out what type of chickadees or other cute birds, they are.
It might be in the den or the bonus room or did I put it upstairs. It might take a bit of time to find it. So instead I might look it up on the computer. I bet they have all sorts of handy dandy websites that I can peek at for informative look e looing from my window. Which is what I do with my cats. I look almost as much or more than they do. I move my chair over and tell my cat, which ever cat got the coveted top of the scratching post, what a cute birdie is on the tree or eating or on the ground. It really is a good nature channel.
The other day, I decided to take a photo of the pink petals. My Siamese cat must have heard me and flew down the stairs. Just in time to sneak through the opening at the moment I opened the door. Out she went with me in shock. She must have heard me unlock the door and really … she flew down the stairs … as far as I knew she was sound a sleep on a box by the window upstairs.
After my shock wore off and my mouth closed, I walked over to her but pretended not to notice her cause that’s what you do if you want to get a cat back in the house. I walked a bit the other way and quickly tried to get her. Which I did, to my surprise. She was so busy eating her grass and being thrilled to be outside that I got her in at a very weak moment. I carried her bunny style with her back legs hanging into the house. She was still chewing on the grass. Now she was in shock cause she didn’t know how I got her.
So here are some photos … of the pink petals … not the cat … had to put the camera down to get her in the house. I’ll post a pic of her asking oh so politely to go outside.
On that pink petal note, I will bid you a Purrfect Fryday and Mew at you later,

I've been trying to use my laptop and use copy and paste. I even set it to post at a certain time this morning. I did notice several minor errors though ... a space here, a return there, and after a few more times of pushing the 'publish' button .. I'm on my first cup of coffee and didn't see all of the errors in my typing ways ... wa la ... after 4 or 5 'publish' you have my story about my cat who went outside to eat grass with the pink petals.
Pretty pink snow, and pretty kitty asking so nice. Enjoy the sun while you can!
I love the pink snow! I get slightly frustrated with the formatting in blogger for the posts. I need to learn a little more HTML I think!
Your cat is verrrrry sneaky!
:-)
It sounds like you handeled the escape quite calmly...I would have been hysterical if one of mine got out. My hubby says I overreact. lol
I like pink snow!
Pretty Pink Flowers!
Last night I was unloading groceries, came back hours later to find your Meezer Niece Jasmine asleep in the trunk of the car.
