Katie here!
Guess what? The weather changed! I know that everybody thinks they have the most crazy weather around, but I’m here to say nobody beats Michigan for crazy!

As you know, last Saturday I was with my mama and our friend at a Michigan state park. It was sunny but cold and windy. Perfect.

Then on Monday it snowed! Yes, snow. Not just a little bit either. It snowed most of the day, big wet, sticky flakes of snow that piled up.

The birds didn’t know what to think of it all.

But I knew exactly what we should do — we should go out and explore! So I bugged my housekeeper mama and out we went!

We had so much fun! Mama said it wouldn’t last long so we should enjoy it while it was there. She said she’d try not to grumble about it too much.

Then we got a couple days of rain. I don’t mind rain, it just gives me an excuse to be lazy and nap all day. (Not that I need an excuse, I get to do whatever I want because I’m the only royal resident around here.)

Thursday the sun came out and mama said we shouldn’t waste a sunny day either. Especially a sunny day that was still cool enough for me to enjoy it.

So off we went to one of my parks and we walked in the woods for a long time.

Mama had her stupid camera (of course) so she was lollygagging along taking pictures of not me. I don’t know why.

I had to wait for her all the time. But that’s not unusual. When I think about it, I’m always waiting for my mama.

Waiting to go outside. Waiting to go on a walk. Waiting for an adventure. Waiting for my supper.

Well. I don’t wait for supper very long because I tell her off if I have to wait for that! Anyway, we had a wonderful time in the woods, and there’s proof of spring popping out all over!

Mama says if we just wait a bit it will probably snow again, and I wouldn’t mind that at all, but daddy says enough is enough, he’s ready to get on his big riding mower and take a spin around the yard! And mama says it’s time to clean up the gardens.
She says we have a lot of work to do out there.

I don’t know who this we is that she’s referring to. She’s probably hired help or something.

Of course I’ll be out there to supervise. Royal responsibilities never end. Talk later, I need to get rested up for the upcoming royal weeding.
–Your favorite weather girl (and princess), Katie.

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the weather Katie! I think your mama is ready for spring – without the snow.

Yes, mama is ready for spring, which is here today. 60s and sun, daffodils in bloom. Grass is greening. Next week the lows are back in the 20s!

Yes, we had “spring of deception”, then “third winter” too. Hopefully we have real spring for a few days before summer hits and we are all complaining its too hot 😀
Katie know how to make the best of it all!

People said yesterday (80) was too hot. I’m not complaining! Soon enough it will be cold again, so those weather people say. They don’t appreciate weather like Katie does.

Katie, you’re beautiful. So many like you continue to wait patiently (or not so patiently) for their human folk to get with the program … walks or dinner or hugs and such. You have the best mama ever. It has been snowing and hailing here in the PNW these past few weeks. If you get too warm where you are, come here. You are so smart, and you are so beautiful, and your mama is perfect.

Friends kept posting pics of snow in Pennsylvania and Ohio- tulips buried under it. It is still cold here in NJ for this time for year. Glad Katie got out in the snow and the sun!

Looking good, Ms Katie! My dogs don’t seem to mind our early spring either. Snow is gone thank goodness, but we saw a bit on Easter Sunday. Once it melted it sure made the grass green, you would have loved to roll in it, I’ll bet!

She’d rather have snow than grass, but if she has to have grass she likes some animals to have walked across it so she has something exciting to smell.
