[Dailydrool] Spring at Casa di Diva

Droop and Drool Diva of Wichita and Sedgwick County

It is spring here, lovely glorious spring.  The flowering crab
apple and the Bartlet Pear trees in our front yard are in full
flower.  Beautiful!  The Redbud trees, the forsythia, the daff-
odils, the hyacinths.... I could go on and on.  It was sudden
and explosive.  A week ago Friday we had a little rain and 
then a day of sunshine.  Everything bloomed.  I is spectac-
ular.   We are miserable.

Miss Angela's eyes are running like Usain Bolt in the 100.
Her armpits are getting red (time for the Gold Bond Med-
icated Powder).   My sinuses are swollen to the point of
my breathing being blocked.  My eyes, too, are streaming,
especially after mowing the front yard yesterday morning.
doG, we love springtime.

Miss Angela's other concerns now relate to the new 
tenants in the other half of our duplex.   They have 
c at s!  Sometimes one or two, sometimes three or
four.  Occasionally there is the smell of the catbox
(Yes, I know that spells buffet to some of you).  Two 
of the new neighbors, Bam-Bam the pure white and
Batman the pure black, get to go outside every now
and then.  That is driving Angie CRAZY.  She tries to
have a civilized conversation (albeit a very loud one)
with them, but they hiss and find a high place to perch.
Of course, Miss Angela follows and tries to continue
the conversation at an even higher volume.  Bam Bam
shows no real fear of Angie and there is some hope
that some kind of rapprochement may be reached, 
but only if the Diva dials it back a few notches.  Like 
that is going to happen.  

We wish that we could go boardwaddling this year,
but that isn't going to happen.  I might be open to 
a tee shirt commemorating the occasion if such a 
thing exists.  Miss Angela, of course, has no such
interest.  She was polite enough to wear a gift tee
at her birthday party, but declines to repeat that
performance.  She remains as always  NUDE NUDE
NUDE.
