Fat Eric and Friends: Spring Is Sprung

Spring Is Sprung

Aw...my mum was touched by all the purrthday wishes. Thank you all very much.

We've been waiting and waiting for the spring flowers to come out. All the flowers here are several weeks later than usual, because of the winter we had. Today was a very springlike day, sunny, with occasional sudden showers, and strong winds blowing all the flowers about.

We had a little photo session in the garden when my mum got home from work:

Sniff...sniff...hmm, smells nice, and I like the feel of the wind blowing through my fur.

Bit too yellow for my taste, I prefer ginger...

My mum says all this mess of forsythia is being dug up as soon as it has finished flowering; she has other plans for this messy corner...of course, she said that last spring too...

The camellias aren't quite out yet, but they'll be pretty in a week or two.

Last year the hellebores only had 2 flowers, this year they've had loads. We would have taken some pictures of the lovely crocuses but they are all over now. Lots of other things coming up though. Now you know what springtime is looking like in London - hope the flowers come soon for the kitties who still have snow!

The flowers are just now poking their heads through the soil. No blooms like you have!

Mom thought we were done with snow and then last week, we got an inch! It went away quickly, though, and today is a nice spring day.

I can't wait for it to be warm enough to have the windows open again. I love the fresh air!

You are soooo lucky to have all those flowers!! Mama said that there still is a little snow out front, yet, but the birdies are back. No flowers in my back yard yet. A lot of it is a parking lot, but one of the ladies plants flowers back there every year.
It is going to rain tonight and tomorrow, so the leftover snow will wash away, and maybe the flowers need a little drinkie to start coming up. Crocuses have come up and one of my mama's friends has tulips.

What pretty flowers!! We wish that Mum would let us outside but since we don't have front claws, we have to stay inside. Mum does say that we would be indoor kitties no matter what though. She has to be careful with any plants since Knightly is a muncher. Last year, he ate all of the tiny roses that Mom had. Lizzie and I just sniff the plants and occasionally taste them - we let Mum think that it's Knightly doing all of the damage.

Mum loves the flower pictures, specially the daffs makes her think of her trips to England. Shes only been there in March.

Mum likes for-sith-ia, don't figure you could send it to her. Guess shes gotta go get her own.

Mom checked today and our daffy-dills are coming up. They are poking their green shoots about an inch out of the soil. You have lots of neat plants in your yard. And such great pictures of you in all your rotund glory!

Georgia misses the garden most now that we are in a condo... she envies you your flowers.

Gemini is impressed with your puffy fur. She always thought she was the only puffy cat but you have proved her wrong... now she's just the only puffy cat in our house.

Oh Eric! We are jealous. The daffodils in our yard aren't in full bloom until the 3rd week of April and you're already enjoying spring!
