The weather has been especially nice outside the past few days. So I got to go out, and I didn’t even need to put on anything warm.
I had fun going out back and checking everything out.
As you can see, it is still brown season here. And it may last a little longer than usual. It’s been pretty dry, and it’s even going to be in the 80s later this week.
We are getting some of our green back, as you can see to my right. I’m just hoping the warmer weather doesn’t dry it out again.
And there was one last thing I needed to do before going back inside. I bet you can guess what it was!
Check up on my catnip garden! It’s dying down a little bit… but it’s still really potent!

Summer, your human should be very proud. These are some of the best photos of you I have ever seen. The one on the blue tile belongs on a card or calendar. The curl if your tail in another is gorgeous
Brown season really matches your beautiful furs and so it’s the purrfect background for you x
So glad you got to go out and tour the garden! Always a nice thing to do on a winter day. Boy you have great catnip. I’ve been trying to get some started here in the Philadelphia area and having no success. People tell me that it’s easy to grow and spreads but I guess I don’t have it in the “right” spot yet. I will try again this spring as I’ve ordered some seeds.
Brown season lasts FOREVER here……no green stuff in sight yet! I bet it was nice being outside and getting some fresh air (and checking on your nip!).
Hugs, Teddy
I remember brown season well, Summer. Glad you got to enjoy some outside time today! 🙂
80s…WOW! We’re having a warmer than usual too but for us that means daily temps in the 30s and 40s!
There is a plus to having snow; it covers the brown!
But snow means cold, and I’ve had enough already, Summer.
All great shots of you. I don’t mind brown, it does match you well. XO
We have a kind of brown here now, too, but that’s only because the snow we had here is almost gone, and the grass beneath is brown, we need more snow/rain here too, we are kind of in a drought situation here.
You look pleased to find your nip is all well and still potent!
I shouldn’t try to comment off of my iPad…MOL!! I have no idea who ‘M’ is…
Dear Sparkles, I haven’t checked my blog list in about 7 years. A lot of bloggers I used to know have quit or moved on to different projects. Great to see you still writing. And yes, we have nothing but brown here, too.
We hope you get a nice bit of wet there so no brown. Wow that must be potent nip looking at your last photo. Big Eyes and all
Summer, it is Kiss a Ginger Day! Are you getting loads today! We send you some! And We gotta say, its WHITE season here! Brown and sunny would be kind of nice! Have a wonderfully Happy Day!
Summer you look so pretty out there on your tour! So nice to have mild weather, ours has been cold!
Oh my stars, temps in the 80’s? We forget what that feels like. Our mom always says if she wasn’t afraid of earthquakes she would love to live in CA.
We love seeing your happy out n’ about sweet Summer!
I bet you are looking forward to that 80 degree day. How
nice. At this time of year, a 50 degree day is a big treat for
me. You look good in the back yard – saw some pretty orange
flowers near your nip garden.
Summer…those leaves DO look the same color as your furs!
It must be so nice to see green, growing things. Yes keep an eye on that nip!
For us, brown season means mud season. It was really cold the last few days, but s now warming up, which means it’s going to rain, and there will be mud!
Purrs,
Tama and Genji
The only time we get brown is in the summer if we get a prolonged dry spell and higher than normal temperatures. For us that is 75F and occasionally higher. Usually we are green all year round.
