A birthday and a Carolina Spring Day . . .

[lavendertook]

Happy birthday to monkey5s!!! May your kitties wrap you in snuggles and purrs and may pink tulips take this day to be inspired to send up bud-filled shoots. In honor of your day, here are pics I took 2 springs ago at the end of March in North Carolina. These are from a drizzly day at Duke Gardens in Durham:

What a beautiful gift for your friend. I would love to have a place like that to go to around here :-)

I miss Carolina spring. Spring comes earlier and lasts longer there.

Thank you so much- oh, what lovely pictures! Maybe we'll have flowers here, eventually!

The kitties are being their own crazy selves (currently Chloe is managing to disturb Corrigan because she is snoring as she sleeps beside him on the kitchen table where I'm using my netbook), and I have had a very quiet day. And that is fine with me.

Awwwww, your golden monkey! (-:

Moo is our big snorer. Glad they didn't get up to any special trouble for your birthday. (-:

All very lovely indeed! Ahhhhh, spring. Please come soon.

These are the very last gasping steps to spring.

Oh my what a lovely birthday wish. Purple is one of my favorite colors and tulips my favorite flower. Is that fat purple/white flower a tupip as well?

Thank you! Yep, those are all tulips, even the one that looks like a big, full peony. (-:
