March was a tough one for me, I was dealt some unusual challenges. I’m still dealing with the aftermath and trying to look at it as a learning and growth experience.
We also said our final goodbye to my good friend Doug who passed away last November, fare thee well, my friend, RIP.
Tough times make me grateful. I am truly grateful for my health, my family and friends, and my cat, and the way she helps keep me calm and sane. I’m grateful for nature and Spring and the revolving life cycles that amazingly keep going.
It was also darn cold by Southern California standards, we have barely gotten above 60 degrees all month, not comfortable for us! Yesterday morning brought us a heavy hail storm, the photos below are of my potted plants filled with hail that stayed several hours before melting.
Wishing you and yours a joyous and bountiful April filled with warmth, love, and creativity! 🌸☀❤ 🐦🎨

Sorry about your loss and the “challenges”.
I know what you mean.
Maybe I should get another cat… But when our last cat “Chairwoman Miao DzeDong” died we swore that never again.
It breaks your heart so much when they go…

Life is full of challenges for sure, I suppose that is what keeps us strong. I’m sorry for the loss of your kitty, it’s one of the hardest things to process and recover from, I know. 🤗

It does and it doesn’t. (Sometimes when too much piles up, it can be harder… LOL)
Well, she had led a good life. She was my parents’ cat. When they died, I took the cat home… She was very nice.
(And I’m sure you know… No life or love without death, sadly)
