An unexpectedly early start to the day. Sophie has been on one of her nocturnal wanderings round the house. She's managed to get herself into the upstairs dining room where the door has swung closed behind her. She keeps this trauma to herself until 5:44 am. At this point she decides that she's been imprisoned long enough and that her stoicism has run its course. There is a 'howling'. 'The Font' makes it quite clear that Angus needs to get up and dressed and escort the family diva into the garden.
March weather. Bright but breezy. The first of the peonies coming into bloom. This is a sure fire indicator that a savage sub zero cold spell is in our immediate future.

I think Sophie showed great restraint, waiting until 5:44 to summon you. I believe she'd be quite wounded if she knew you'd referred to her as "goat-like." (I can see it, but it's just because her paws are wet and looking rather more dainty than usual.) The bee videos are very cool.
Sophie's hair is now 2 1/2 inches long on either flank and on her chest and undercarriage. Her shape has become rather 'square' but nothing a thorough shearing won't cure !

Of course, unless known for certain to be otherwise, it is possible that the entire waiting period before alarm raising amounted to about sixty seconds... I too enjoyed the bees! I've seen some 'ghost forest' and it has a primeval feel. YAM xx
Was Sophie looking for that elusive, refillable, yoghurt pot?
Nice! The Mullica is "our river" here in NJ. Both sides of my family have had houses along it for several generations. The water is truly reclaiming bits.
FUNNY! It has happened here too.
You may be right. The diva is not noted for patience.
In The Rickety Old Farmhouse she was probably following a mouse.
She prefers to sleep, undisturbed, down stairs by the front door but once every so often she'll wander.
A wonderful article about bees. Thank you so much.
Time for the peonies already? (Or rather, time or not, there they are.) The wisteria can't be far behind. I always look forward to your grand display, especially as ours still refuses to bloom.
