Happy May First 2016

I have already listened to Julie Andrews sing “The Lusty Month of May” from Camelot, which is my May 1st tradition. I will, however, have that tune running through my head for the rest of the day.

Got mostly unpacked from our trip. There are the few bags that need to have items go several places to be completely unpacked. Good thing too since I have to repack Peter for Free Comic Book Day.

Spring has sprung up here. Still in the 50s which is nice but the green plague o’ pollen is evident everywhere. The whole world has taken on a particular shade of yellow-green. The weather reports are touting dangerous levels of pollen. However we are suppose to have some rain today, which might get rid of a lot of stuff in the air.

Since Millie passed, Inky has been tucked up next to my hip when I sit down on the sofa right where Millie uses to sleep. Yesterday she pretty much at least had a paw on me if I was sitting down and followed me all around the house. Fig has been sticking close to Caroline. Right now Caroline is reading a book and absent mindedly petting her cat who is very happy about the situation.

Ariel, Anthony, and AJ are doing well. AJ and Ariel were released from the hospital yesterday with a clean bill of health. He’s nursing like a champ. His favorite place to sleep is his swing. He’s small but not considered pre-mature.

Today is more about the homestead and cleaning. I still have the cat boxes to attend to before the rain starts. I think it is going to be a race between me and Mother Nature. Who else remembers “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature”?

I am amazed considering this past week that I did keep this journal going all of April. Going to see if I can continue the streak.

I am grateful that AJ got to go home.
