April Showers and Cat After Math

We're still feeling the effect of the recent rains we had during the last week. It's been a bit colder, and we even received snow on the local mountains. Our city is actually an inhabited desert-- making it work to keep things green. While my city boasts of being the "City of Trees", and has been keeping it's commitment to the label by offering free trees annually, our city gets plain hot and dry as the summer months approach. So, you can imagine how refreshing it was to see the rain, and hear the majestic thunder.
On another note~ it seems now that the tomcat is gone for good, my cat, Kitty is showing her new colors. She's become more bold in her territory, and actually chased a squirrel out of our yard. I guess I didn't realize how intimidated and squelched she might have felt with the stray cat imposing himself in her yard. So fun to see the dynamics of nature!
