Today after nearly six weeks of almost constant rain and grayness, we woke to what my husband called “a strange glow in the sky.” Finally, a day of exquisite sunshine!
It’s a fooler though. The sunshine draws you out so the cold air can smack you in the face and really wake you up!
When we lived in central Illinois, I called these Little Cat Days and the title applies equally today in Alabama. If I were a little cat today, I’d find a nice sunny window seat and stretch out in the sun to lick my paws and wipe my whiskers with them to remove all trace of my bowl of cream. Then I’d raise up on all four paws, arch my back with a little yowl and scratch at the cushions with my clawless feet to make them just right to lie back down again – this time with the other side facing the window – to bask in the sun. Soon, I would be purring like a contented little motor, eyes shut, having – what else – a little sunny cat nap!
A day like this makes you want to soak up all the vitamin D laden sunshine that you can. Enjoy every minute of it!
Kim, I spent the morning reading your blogs; I love them.
May I abscond with “Little Cat Days”? My two are illustrating that very concept as we speak, with a temperature of 5.9 C (49 F) outside. And, bless his pointed little head, friend Scott in Kelowna, sent a picture he took this morning of a sweet, little red Primula peeking out of last years spent leaves 🌺
It’s amazing how that ball of light in the sky makes things bearable thru the dreary and cold days.
Ditto. NC has the same fooling bright sun and 25 mile an hour wind. But the sun is beautiful
