I know that spring isn't here yet. But on days like today, when it's rather warm and the sun is strong and there's no wind blowing and the robins are singing like they want to start courting, I can't help feeling eager for it! Spring rolls up so many feelings inside of me. I think it must be that way for all critters and people alike. Everything feels new and reborn and full of posib possibb oppoor - bah! It's like the world is starting all over afresh. And it makes you want to run about and dance like a newborn lamb, and find someone to fall in love with.
I wonder if Pa and Ma ever felt that way about each other. I wish I could ask them.
I suppose my dancing wouldn't be too differing from a newborn lamb, either! Wobbly little darlings, they are!
It won't be long until the daffy-down-dillies start pushing up along the cottage sides and the stone walls. But not just yet. I daresay we have a snow or two to get through first. But I can't help dreaming of spring while the sun is coming through the window and warming my feet.
Even Pumpkin is feeling it! She's been yowling and rubbing against all the furniture and clawing at the door to get out. Nay, little lass, I shan't let you out! I know what you're about! We don't need a litter of orange kittens around here!
I must remember to ask Master Tumunir if he has any mending to be done, now winter is almost over. The yarn will be getting cheaper, and it's a good time to patch up holes and tears what happened over the cold months.
For now, I am too comfortable to get up. Pumpkin has dozed off on the foot stool and I think I will let my eyes close for a moment, too.
