🌹This rose is an extra

"Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers". - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes saying from The Naval Treaty

Spring boss Chocolate Paws

🍫 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!
