Yes, very much so. The grass is so very... green! I had forgotten grass was green during the... hmmm... how many months of winter? Wait a moment, let me count... Let's see... December, January, February... Does march count? Well, I'll count half of it... Well, anyways, 3 1/2 months of winter. Ick. I had forgotten that the sky was blue, the grass was green, the sun was warm... But the humans have something called "Al Urge Ease" that makes them sneeze and cough, so the windows cannot be opened on certain days when GoG recieves an Alert that the "Pol un Count" is high. Even when it isn't, they usually don't open windows because they say it is too cold. Then again, they have no fur coats. So, I guess it is justified. Sometimes, Short Girl opens The Window next to The Shelf. Bearded Scritcher installed The Shelf for me. It was very nice of him. So sometimes she will open it, and I can sit and sniff for a while. It's very nice. I wil upload pictures later when GoG puts them on the computer. *hint hint*
