Spring boss Chocolate Paws

Thyme the cat officially declared the garden open for spring

🍫 Spring boss Chocolate Paws

A Moveable Feast:
"You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell… but you knew there would always be the spring." - Ernest Hemingway

Thyme the cat - "Chocolate Paws" to those who know him well - has officially declared the gardens open for spring even up North!

He found the warmest patch of sun, right between last year’s dry leaves and the first brave blue flowers, and settled in like he owns the season. Eyes half-closed, tiny tongue out, completely unbothered.

Why "Chocolate Paws"? Back when he was a tiny kitten, his little paw pads looked like soft pieces of chocolate. These days he’s an eight-year-old bruiser - worn paws, a battle-tested face, and stories you can only guess at.

The flowers are blooming, the air smells fresh, and Thyme?
Still enjoying life like it’s his full-time job.

And for us? Time to plant some flowers!
