This might be a pretty accurate description of how things have been on this blog, lately. 3 posts in April? 4 in March? Sad, sad, sad.

Now that spring is here I feel as if I’ve crawled out of a very dark cave. And I have to say, it’s nice to be back, out in fresh air and sunlight, tuning up bicycles and having beers on the front porch. My cameras are charged, we’re practically ready for new kittens, we miss the old ones so much, and I have a pile of cookbooks just waiting for their spines to be cracked.

Let’s get to it! Look for some more frequent posts in this space. But if you need a fix now, you should know that you can always find me filling 140 character lines on twitter, or posting something new in my flickr account, too.

Until next time…

Except now they’re probably sad and lonely in their cage, wondering why no one brought them little bits of ice cream bar and buffalo mozzarella to nibble on for dinner (*ahem*. Not that WE would do that. Ever.).

This morning (when this photo was taken), Oliver (Ollie) and Ophelia woke up early, piled back into their (now) very cosy crate, and headed off to the OHS for some obligatory time with the vets, and then….the waiting. Their new family (or families, if we have to), are out there somewhere.

Giving them back is a good thing, but why does it have to suck?

For those on cat-watch, April ’09 edition, you can follow Ollie’s profile on the OHS site here. When it’s not there anymore, it’s good news! Ophelia’s profile should be up on Thursday!
