last day of april

Today is the end of April, tomorrow May 1st, her favorite day of the year by far.  April is a fickle month especially this year it seemed to her, but Mayday - "May Flowers wrapped in paper cones to be secretly delivered to neighbors' front doors" is her beginning.  Knowing if she was caught, only smiles would scold her.  Her elm tree now in leaf beckoned her to climb to her hiding place - a green room with air to breathe and thoughts to be contemplated.  There she meditated and looked at a different world from higher up.  This is for Mama on Mayday.

My Birthday (April 17) - I'm a 1 year old now

It's my birthday?

Oh. I've played with those before.

This takes the cake - 

hey, where's the cake?

The balloons?

The PRESENTS??

(maybe next year they'll think ahead, sigh)

Flat-headed cat

This is a very rare wild cat.  It's very small and weighs about 3-4 lbs.  It lives in the SE Asia swamps and marshes and has webbed feet so they can swim through the swamps where they live and eat.  They are endangered with only a few thousand left in the world.  A webfooted cat that swims - it would be sad for them to disappear!

This is Tiny Moo Moo's long lost cousin, Mini Moo.

He seems happy to see you TMM and Dennis too.

This is Mama.

She must be looking at me up in my condo.

I'll bet she'll play ball with me if I find one.

 Rare White lion cubs

 Sleepy babyLions live in families called prides.  Mostly mamas and babies, but at least one daddy and sometimes a few more that come and go.  They are affectionate within their prides.  The mamas do most of the hunting.  They mainly live in Africa, though there are some subspecies that live in India/Asia.
