Spring is finally here. It's almost the end of the May 24th weekend (which, once again, does not contain May 24), and there are actually buds on the trees out in the yard. There are snails all over everything, too, and this year's baboo is sprouting. What, you may be wondering, is baboo? Baboo is like bamboo, and it is in our yard. This stuff is crazy. Last year there was hardly any when we moved in, but within a month there was a forest of the stuff. I took a picture today so I can show you how quickly it grows- if I remember to take more pictures.
This is the Baboo- May 21
... Is baby baboo.We (Simon and I; AJ was working today) took Gus outside with us today. He's always trying to get out the door, so I thought we'd let him get some fresh air. Gus was really excited... until we tied him up. I wasn't going to let him escape now, was I? He did the usual cat thing and acted like I had put a weight around his neck, flopping to the ground and commando-crawling like he couldn't lift his head. He ended up just laying there like a giant, hairy lump, so I let him go inside. Maybe this will cure him of his need to go out.

Handsome Puss!Simon also had fun, even though he was feeling kind of sick today. He never says no to a trip out to the yard!
