May Snow Cats & Scenes From Our Spring Snow

WAFFLES:  What's with all this white stuff, Boss? Did someone spray Glogirly's whipped cream all over everything?

KATIE:  That's not Reddi Wip, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  It smells like Reddi Wip.

KATIE:  No it doesn't, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  It feels like Reddi Wip.

KATIE:  No it doesn't, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  It's REDDI WIP, Boss!

KATIE:  Fine. It's Reddi Wip.

WAFFLES:  So where's my cherry on top?

Mother Nature Loves A Rollercoaster

We're continuing to ride the weather rollercoaster here in Colorado. Just a few days ago, Glogirly was wearing her sandals but Tuesday morning she had to trade them in for her snow boots.



From the Rocky Mountains down into Denver, just about everyone woke up to at least a little of the white stuff Tuesday morning.  We had about 5" and are expecting a little more throughout the day.

No one is complaining though! Even in the spring, when the snow falls in the mountains it's like the beautiful landscape has been tucked into a blanket of sparkly, white magic. All this moisture is a wonderful thing when it comes to summer and fall wildfire risk too.

Waffles, who has a reputation for being scared of snow on his paws, even ventured far enough out our deck door to get both of his front paws covered before Glogirly pulled him back inside.


Snow Hummers

Our hummingbirds have been here for over a month already and have proven to be very resilient troopers. 

Just after Glogirly took these photos, they were back at the feeder sipping their favorite sugar cocktail.

No Driveway Drama Today!

Despite the heavy, wet snow, our road is nice and clear, thanks to our neighbor. So bring it on down, FedEx!

Where's Waffles?

WAFFLES:  Bet you can't find me, Boss!

KATIE:  Bet I don't want to, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  Ok! What do you wanna bet? Like money or treats or Glogirly's pillow? And how many? Like a lot or–

 KATIE:  Waffles, I don't want to bet. I'm busy.



WAFFLES:  But you said bet.

KATIE:  That's not what I meant.

WAFFLES:  But you said bet. 

KATIE:  You already said that. 

WAFFLES:  But–

KATIE:  Really, Waffles???

WAFFLES:  BET - BET - BET - BET - BET - BET... 

WAFFLES:  BET - BET - BET!

Four Seasons in One Day

Spring in Colorado is like an amusement park ride. One minute you're riding through blue skies, sunshine, and puffy clouds. The next minute it's raining, no wait, hailing, no wait, thunder-snowing! 

Sunday afternoon was so foggy we couldn't even see our driveway. Mother Nature isn't quite sure what she wants yet. But that's ok. Every day is a pretty day in the mountains. Even when our eyes are closed and we're deep into our catnaps.

What Happens In Vegas - Suitcase Inspection

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss, this suitcase smells really, uh... really strange.

KATIE:  That's because it came all the way from Las Vegas. 

WAFFLES:  But I thought they say what smells in Vegas stays in Vegas. 

KATIE:  No, it's what happens in Vegas. 

WAFFLES:  Well whatever happened in Vegas really smells. You don't think there's some Vegas inside here, do you Boss?

KATIE:  I sure hope not.

WAFFLES:  I better check it out. 

KATIE:  Well, suitcase inspection is your area of expertise. 

WAFFLES:  I'm goin' IN!

KATIE:  Perhaps what goes in that suitcase stays in that suitcase. At least one can hope.

Leaving the Cats for Las Vegas

Glogirly left Katie & Waffles for the first time since we moved to Colorado! She went to a family wedding in Las Vegas last weekend. Our neighbors tag-teamed cat-sitting duties. David took care of all the breakfasts and Over-the-Hill Bob served dinner and provided daily updates and photos. 

Katie and Waffles did great and made quick work of cleaning their plates each and every day. 

Meanwhile, Gloman served as the official wedding photographer and Glogirly, the official wedding photographer's assistant, was by his side the whole weekend. The photos are going to be part of an elaborate film and light show the groom's parents are holding back in their home state of Saskatchewan, (Canada), later this month. 

There were photo ops all weekend and on the big day, Glogirly and Gloman rode around with the wedding party in a stretch Hummer while they stopped at landmark locations in and around Las Vegas for photos. From the desert salt flats to the Smith Center for the Performing Arts to the Graceland Wedding Chapel to Lake Las Vegas where the ceremony took place, to the late night Bellagio fountain show on the strip...they were everywhere. 16+ hours and 2,650 photos, most in 95 degree Las Vegas heat. Phew! 

The day after, they celebrated by turning the a/c down in their room to 60 degrees, taking 6-hour naps, and ordering room service for dinner. 

WAFFLES:  Did someone say room service???
