Sleepwalking in the Garden

The temperature the last few days has been in the 60′s. It’s been wonderful. That, plus the time change, has got me home in time to walk in the garden a little bit. It’s a terrible mess, and many things are damaged from the snow, but it still is a spirit-lifter to be outside.

Stray crocuses in the front yard.

Interestingly, the last few days have also brought an irresistible urge to sleep in the afternoon or early evening. If I don’t lie down for a little while, I pass out sitting up. Wednesday I resisted, and ended up drifting in and out all night. Yesterday I intentionally lay down, and slept for less than half an hour. Why am I so sleepy now that it’s nice outside? That’s just the opposite of what I was expecting.

    Hmmmmm, I’m going to say that it’s because you’re part cat, since sunshine=naps.

    And, as with all cats, eating=naps, sitting still=naps, breathing=naps, etc.

    Maybe it’s like in the Wizard of Oz: “Poppies croci – that will put them to sleep!”

    That flower looks a little top heavy to me.
