Is that you Spring?

March 14, 2024 by Anna

Today is the kickoff to what looks like a BEAUTIFUL weekend of sun and warm temps. As the schools head to spring break, the chimps head right into consistently cozy warm greenhouses and even more outdoor adventure time!

Here’s Annie in full Greenhouse Lounge Mode:

Burrito outside on Young’s Hill. Check out those first sprigs of green grass!

Lucky and Honey B spending some quality grooming time together:

Lovely Rayne and a new bonobo book she needed to check out:

Prehensile lips make turning pages easier:

Willy B keeping an eye on the outdoor activities from a playroom window (I love how distinct his shoulder swoops are):

We all can’t wait to welcome spring!

    Hi, Anna!
    When I saw Annie’s pic in the push message, I thought for sure that we’d see a waistband officially ushering the season in!
    Well, we’ll have to wait for the waistband and Neggie’s first snack of spring grass for it to be official!
    I love that Beezus is making friends, and I hope all remains quiet on that side of the house.

    Looks like everyone is waiting for spring’s official arrival. Has Annie sported a waistband yet? Perhaps this weekend? I think we all feel better when we can escape to the great outdoors and feel the warmth of the sun.

    And yes, Willy B’s shoulder swoops are incredible! Shoulder Swoops. Is that a technical term? 😉

      I’ve always wondered what they call them. I like “shoulder swoops”. Foxie has them, too

    Spring is beginning to spring!
    I wonder how long before Neggie leaves her nest to feast on some delicious new grass? Or how long before Annie dons her spring fashion. I wonder what color she will pick this year?

    So glad they all can get outside and enjoy good weather!
