What, to you, is the first sign of spring? Have you seen it yet?

We watched a foreign film by Pedro Almodovar titled All About My Mother and one of the most striking things about this film was the amount of hideous wallpaper gracing the walls of the various dwellings. It was so ugly that it stood out apart from the film! LOL Even Boo remarked about how nasty it was. I do not what look the set designers were going for, but I doubt they received any nominations for set design.

This little guy is named Pete and he squeaks when he means to bark. He is four months old and is as large as he will grow. He was at the vet entertaining everyone with his Sherlock Holmes get-up! He brought levity to many of us her were stressed out about our animals and feeling sad. Can you believe no one wanted him? The lady with Pete said that he is a mix and her neighbor tried to find a home for him for two months and did not. Feeling sorry for him, the lady took him in and Pete was there to receive his final vaccination in the series. He is too adorable.
Have you noticed a climate change in the area where you live over the past few years? I've noticed that the seasons seem to be out of whack. Spring is arriving earlier, summer is lasting longer and winter is very dry yet bone chilling cold. Last summer we had such high temps that I felt like I was living in Palm Springs. I could only come out at night when it had cooled some and during the day remained indoors like a vampire!
Life's been so nuts around here lately and work so hectic that I've hardly had time to blog about our 27th Anniversary!
We celebrated a day late because Little Girl has her vet visits, but we both agreed that it needed to be this way and that our gift to each other is Little Girl. Her vet bills keep adding up and Boo's already told her that she needs to find a job! LOL
We dined at another favorite restaurant in Burbank called Market City Caffe and had a very calm and leisurely meal. It was so nice to relax and feel like we could see the light at the end of the tunnel. We had time to catch up with each other and celebrate how our relationship has deepend and evolved.
We're beyond the fanfare celebrations and big surprises that occurred earlier on and have come to a place where it's so nice to find and enjoy quiet time with each other. We strolled through downtown Burbank and stumbled on a Crown Books store - anyone remember them? They were like the bookstore of choice for me in their heyday back in the early 90s.
I totally skipped over a find until Boo pointed it out - a book on John Lennon. The bigger surprise was when the proprietor charged $8 each for two $10 books and gave us a book of poems dealing with loss for free. The latter book is for my friend whose son died on Valentine's Day.
Their was a chill in the night air yet, a lot of folks were walking about. I guess we're quite happy with the early time change and the warmer days. I hope they last!
What is, or used to be, your SSB (secret single behavior)?

Isn't it strange how I could easily think of three things when not answering a question but now my mind's blank?
Just thought of something completely new; I need to document milestones or events I feel important in either photo, ticket stubs, programs, etc. It's as if the event didn't occur without the documentation. I fancy that a bit weird, no?
