The battle between Winter and Spring has seemingly begun. With Spring right around the corner, the weather has been bouncing around cold, gloomy, and snowy, and sunny and warm (like today). When caregivers arrived in the morning, it was a brisk 25º, but an hour or so later is was nearing 40º. With the winter paneling still up on all the greenhouses, the sun and the rising temperature helped create a nice, warm atmosphere where the chimpanzees spent much of their day relaxing. This all made for a nice and quiet day.
Negra spent the morning portion of the day covered in blankets. Later on she was seen relaxing without the blankets.
Lucky was seen lounging about in several different spots in her greenhouses.
Gordo enjoyed his entire lunch service in the greenhouses.
Willy B looking for any leftovers someone may have left behind.
Honey B calculating her next move after lunch.
Rayne especially was seemed relaxed all day!
She even took a quick nap on one of the leaf benches on the artificial tree structure in the Marmot Mountain Playroom.
Even Barn Kitty thought today was the day to take it easy!
Here’s to hoping Spring breaks through this winter spell and brings warmer weather soon!
Bonus photo of Foxie waiting for dinner to be brought out!
Barn Kitty is back! Hurray! All is right with the world!* I had wondered if B.K. was still about the place. What a welcome presence he makes, standing guard over the shed.
*(Any ecological disruption/destruction perpetuated by the peripatetic panther-wannabe notwithstanding, of course).
Nice to see the Tiny One with a big appetite! And a big Neggie smile peeking out from under that blanket! I think Neggie deserves the Wolf blanket every day!
From the look on Beezus’ face, Chad, I’m thinking you’re her next favorite after Anthony! :rofl:
Thanks for the pics! (We’re also getting our annual March “winter’s last hurrah” snow tonight, probably just another dusting.)
Ah spring. Seems like it was a long time coming….
Neggie is smiling because she knows her favourite Spring grass is not far away now! I can’t wait for Cy’s group to get their outdoor enclosure finished…..who’ll be first out I wonder??
Your blog title is perfect! I see Neggie is fully covered in her nest as she soaks in the sunshine. Love seeing Lucky’s sweet face. Gordo scored at lunchtime but he quietly stops to check out his surroundings. Rayne is a good nester, she looks so peaceful sleeping. And Barn Kitty is looking pretty peaceful too. Looks like a lovely day of sanctuary for everyone.
I do feel like Negra more and more every day…….
My nest is sooo comfy in the cold damp mornings ( I live in a trailer at the moment ) that I think of Neggie, do as Neggie and cover my head with a blancket and go back to sleep….
