Snow....sleet......wind..........are we sure it's mid April? When Donna left this morning, she text me.....needed help and a net.  She spotted 60 robins with suitcases, heading south.  We grabbed the net, got them back on the farmyard and tossed their suitcases in a shed.  And then we noticed there was a cluster of robins busily knitting. There was a line of robins standing in line, waiting for little leggings to be made for their bare legs.  I even saw the chickens in line waiting for their leggins.  Really....it won't be long until the sunshine and warmth is here!  And what a beautiful spring we will have! 

Our 2 newly adopted cats--Grizzabella and Fanella are doing wonderful! Happy family, happy cats! 

We had BOXES yesterday!  Many thanks to you!

The doors were wide open this morning---from the back Thumper's Room, clear up front. It took about 10 seconds for the first of the kittens to zoom into the Main Area. They are brave and confident! Even both mamas came up.  Now.......to get them to to go back to their back Thumper's Room for the day is going to take some time!  They know what it is now to be in the entire area. But, we want to be safe and not have any babies stepped on. 

The two new kittens, Thane and Gisela are doing good.  Sometimes they snuggle with Jillians kittens inside the pool and sometimes with the bit bigger kittens.  They are both eating good. Jillians kittens are getting more active and know how to topple out of the pool. They still remain inside the pool though, most of the time (at least for now!).  Their fur is becoming a bit longer, like their mama.

Did you know that cats sleep about 16 hours a day? They prefer "cat naps" but when they do sleep deeply, their brain wave patterns are similar to the ones humans produce when dreaming. 

And....here's another Giggle Scene--it's #22. Wow---Many thanks to Derecho who is the director.  Pleaes click the like/thumbs up button youtube as it helps generate more $$ for FFRC.  https://youtu.be/ql_Cx4g3WmQ

Ramsay is doing great and is back to our sweet boy.  Jones too is doing great and meeting and greeting everyone at the door again in PawMart!  Lucie still loves to eat! Derecho spent time last night and this morning chasing his tail. Charmaine loves to give little chirps and kisses.  Annetta is holding her own as is Mama Calico Cat. Elsie is as ornery as ever! Giovanna ate a good breakfast. Life is good! 

Coralie.......she's full of wisdom and wanted this passed on----"Too often we underestimate a smile, a kind word,  a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." (Leo Buscaglia)  Always step up and do that act that has the potential of changing a life.
