Ypache (Apache) is fed up with the run of wintry weather we’ve been having...Six inches of snow, lying for a week, torrential rain for a few days, now, Storm Erik (!) with gale force winds and more torrential rain, is raging around the house and hills.
Consequently, ‘Not-going-out’ has become the collective cat cry, recently. When they do venture out, it’s a very brief sortie to one of the outbuildings or to sit in the rafters of one of the garages. The house has become an indoor playground/feline gym/wrestling ring/chase park/hotel.
Here, she is just turning over on her bean bag, again, to lie down and get another comfortable position...
Come on, SPRING!

“Just stop your crying
It’s a sign of the times...
Just stop your crying
It’ll be alright...
Just stop your crying
Have the time of your life;
They told me that the end is near...”

As we climbed towards the refuge of Sales (1870m - 6135 ft), the landscape became more and more beautiful and spectacular.

Kuznetsky Most is one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in the historical center of Moscow.
The street got its modern - and at the same time historical - name thanks to the Kuznetsky Bridge across the Neglinnaya River. Today, Kuznetsky Most Street attracts citizens with its high-quality landscaping, an abundance of architectural monuments and an unusual relief: due to the significant difference in heights between Petrovka and Rozhdestvenka, the city landscape looks especially picturesque.
Kuznetskaya Sloboda on the high bank of the Neglinnaya River - Neglinnaya Upper - appeared in the 12th century, but its heyday came only at the end of the 15th, when the Cannon Yard was built in the vicinity, and the Moscow prince Ivan III ordered to settle in it blacksmiths and grooms who served new production. At the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, Novgorod and Pskov were annexed to the Moscow principality, and craftsmen of various professions from these cities were moved to the Neglinny Upper.
In 1737, the street burned out during the Trinity fire, but rather quickly new buildings were built on it, in which foreign shops began to be located. Gradually, the street turned into the abode of foreign trade: the French showed particular zeal, opening fashion and haberdashery shops here, thanks to which Kuznetsky Most became the main shopping street in Moscow. During World War II and the fire of 1812, it practically did not suffer from the fire, since the French guard took over the protection of the business of compatriots. After the war, trade flourished again, and many fashionable shops were opened on it (almost all of them were foreign, most of them were French). The abundance of foreign shops made Kuznetsky Most the most fashionable and aristocratic street in Moscow, which it remained until the 1917 Revolution.
During the Soviet era, the street lost part of the historical buildings, many buildings were rebuilt, and the street gradually took on a modern look.
After the reconstruction carried out in 2012, the Kuznetsky Most section from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Rozhdestvenka became pedestrian.
Today Kuznetsky Most Street is a well-maintained pedestrian zone, where city holidays and festivals are often held.
Despite the losses of the Soviet years, a large number of architectural monuments have been preserved on it: tenement houses, partially preserved city estates and passages. Among them are famous Moscow sights: the building of the Moscow International Trade Bank, Khomyakov's trading house and others.
Posting this gorgeous bouquet in hopes that Spring will soon be on it's way! Happy Sunday my friends, enjoy =)

Quant’è bella giovinezza,
che si fugge tuttavia!
Chi vuol esser lieto, sia:
del doman non v’è certezza.
(Lorenzo de’ Medici)
How beautiful is youth
that runs away anyway!
Who wants to be happy, either:
of tomorrow there is no certainty.

A little bit of sunshine to cheer us all up, as we continue to be lashed by storm after storm.

Believe it or not, this was taken last Feb, we walked along the beach, as if it was a summers day
A bird with a distinctive crest on its head, the color is light brown, and its crest is brown, spotted from its edges with black feathers, and the lower half is black speckled with white feathers in beautiful arrangements. It has a distinctive way of flying, and it feeds on insects and sees individuals in agricultural areas. Worms, larvae and pests. Its presence and sighting is a sign of the purity of the environment from pesticides, and it is forbidden to hunt it (as is the case with Abu Qardan and Abu Fasada, as it is not eaten. It lives in the southern and central regions of Asia and Europe and is largely found in Africa, and lives in the terrain, vineyards and meadows, in particular The meadows of the savannah and in the scattered trees, and it is not stable in one place, but it is constantly moving and migrating from one place to another in search of food.
طير له عرف مميز على رأسه، اللون بني فاتح وعرفه البني مرقط من أطرافه بالريش الأسود ونصفه الأسفل أسود مرقط بالريش الأبيض في نظم جميل، له طريقة مميزة في الطيران، ويتغذى على الحشرات ويشاهد أفراداً في المناطق الزراعية، وهو من أصدقاء الفلاحين فهو ينظف الأرض من الديدان واليرقات والآفات. يعد وجوده ومشاهدته علامة على نقاء البيئة من المبيدات الحشرية، وممنوع صيده (كما هو الحال بالنسبة لأبو قردان وأبو فصادة، حيث أنه لا يؤكل. وهو يعيش في المناطق الجنوبية والوسطى من آسيا وأوروبا ويتواجد في إفريقيا بشكل كبير، ويعيش في التضاريس وكروم العنب والمروج وبالذات مروج السافانا وفي الأشجار المتفرقة وهو غير مستقر في مكان واحد، بل هو دائم التنقل والترحال من مكان لآخر بحثا عن الغذاء
