One rainy morning we discovered this little guy in the kitchen. He was hiding in a corner, surrounded by the cats!  Luckily, they seemed pretty puzzled by him. We shooed the cats out of the room, and It was pretty easy to coax him into a cat carrier with nuts and peanut butter on bread.

I put the carrier outside under the cherry tree,  but he finished the rest of his trearts  before scampering up.

Spring arrived soon this year. Peonies, delphiniums and roses are blooming about 3 weeks early.

These colors seem to echo the pink roses.

It's all so inspiring, but it comes and goes too fast.
