The Backyard: Potential Can Happen!

Lots of splendid things have happened recently in the front yard, but now it's the backyard's time to shine!  I've been seeing lots of colors popping up in places that were previously drab and brown.  The weather here at home has been brilliantly warm, so the big guy and his cute wife have been able to open up the windows and doors to let the breezes flow through the house--it makes for premium-quality sunbeam naptime, I assure you.

Today I finally got let outside to go on an adventure, and I knew exactly where my first destination would be:

My head is full of whimsy!

Bosses!  These bosses are kind-of funny, in that they're a lot smaller than the front-yard bosses, but there's a dozen of them all sprouting out from the same plant.  I wonder if they're like a video game bad guy that looks big but when you whack him he splits into two littler things, and then when you whack those, they split in to two more smaller, littler things.  If that's the case, this guy must have gotten whacked a bunch of times, and must be VERY fast!  They seemed pretty nice to me, though, and were very happy to have company.

Next up were these purple guys that look like humorous trumpets:

These guys were very soft and very comfortable to wiggle in to.  I had fun imagining ridiculous sounds coming out of them.

Being a catball, I could not resist the urge to climb some trees, and when I did I found some very fascinating things there.

These guys are the cute wife's favoritest things on the planet.  She told me that she and the big guy had looked for a new home for many many months but could not find a decent place to put their things, but when she saw how many of these were in the back yard of this one particular house, she knew that she and the big guy had finally found their new home.

Potential

These things are made of what looks like a million tiny little purple dots, and I'm told that they are going to grow and become bigger and bigger dots and that they will smell divine, like springtime laundry and happiness. 

Close to these guys, I found another thing to climb into, and this thing was a big yellow maze!

LOOK AT HOW CONFUSING THIS IS!!  What an incredible thing I found!  There are big wooden tentacles going every which way, some growing straight into the air, others curving and looping and weaving all about.  It's an incredible snarl of small but pretty yellow flowers and hidey spots and things to climb and sproing around on.  And I bet it's going to become even more fun and yellow and bright in the days to come.

That was a lot of excitement for one little catball, so finally I decided to take a big five.  It just so worked out that this was my favorite part of my entire adventure.

A nice shady grassy spot, ultimately, is best to be on.  I could stretch out and roll around and just be a catball for a while.  Sometimes the best part of an adventure is when you find what feels the most like home.
