Calm before the whirlwind

Got up this morning and hit the neighborhood loop for a quick three mile walk. The daffodils, tulips, hyacinth, tulip trees, forsythia, ornamental pears and ornamental cherries are in bloom and so many yards looked like springtime fantasies with the riot of color. The skies were overcast and the wind chilly, but the colors were so bright and cheerful. Spring truly is amazing here in the mid-Atlantic.
Hubbyfink got home just before Margie's and Oreo's vet appointment and took on the role of Least Favored Human by corralling them in their respective carriers. Since my favorite vet left the practice Margie's been going to, we took them to the practice where Oreo was checked out before we brought him home last year. We had a good experience at Sterling Park Animal Park last year and had another great experience this year. I really like the vet who examined the cats. Margie hissed but she didn't bite or scratch, so I think she was (marginally) happy, too. Oreo, well Oreo is so laid back, he flopped down on the examination table and stayed in the same position throughout the examination and shots. Good kitty. He's also 15.6 pounds which means he's put on four and half pounds in the past year. Margie's put on half a pound. I think they're finding some of my lost weight. ;)
Now we're chilling out until it's time to head out to National to retrieve bestfriendfink. Can't wait to see him!
