Crystal Kitten is Back on Duty

The sun has finally sprouted in Bay Area hearts. When Plotnik went out to the Back Forty and started pulling out grasses and oxalis, there was Crystal Kitten, where she'd been all winter, still keeping guard over the iris patch, visible once again. Today it was hot and it felt fabulous to play ball and run around for several hours, stretching out the muscles and tendons and ligaments that have been groaning and creaking since the rains started. Let the weather stay like this and Plotnik will stop all his whining about Southern California. They can't top this, can't even come close to it.
