Cat In a Window

One of my favorite parts of our redecorated/moved office is the bookcase in front of the north window. Of course our kitty has decided this spot is hers, for the purposes of surveying our property and watching the starlings dow below in the front yard. I have obliged her and crocheted her a little carpet upon which to sit. 

This evening, it's raining steadily and straight down, which means I can have the window wide open. I can hear the rain falling and splashing outside and smell the petrichor, which has persisted through a couple of hours of rain because it had been so dry previous to the start of the rainfall. 

The maple trees in the front are starting to blossom, and in just a week or so, the view out of the window will be leaves only.  Then this room will really feel like a treehouse!
