A downpour

Floof lucked out by joining in the lovely May weather romp.

That it is. M’aidez.

Kate’s smart.

(From ‘Red Dwarf’)

Rimmer:- Mayday, Mayday! I wonder why they call it “Mayday” ? It’s only a bank holiday. Why not “Shrove Tuesday”, or “Ascension Sunday” ? Ascension Sunday, Ascension Sunday! 15th Wednesday after Pentecost, 15th Wednesday after Pentecost!

April showers bring… May showers.

It seems this year Summer in some places may be a bit late. And Kate and Co. will have to wait a bit longer for a proper summer sunshine.

How cute. Every one of them huddling under Kate’s umbrella.

it was pouring here at midnight but the sun is out this morning, perfect May Day

As of Friday we have rain for the next two weeks

Floof isn’t allowed outside? If not, good idea. My cats aren’t allowed out either.

May Day is unpredictable, just like any other day.

Right now I’m exactly in the situation of the second panel. But without dogs.

Kate is always prepared to save her buddies from discomfort!

Now that I have collected myself, I thought that I might add my thoughts to what was said under PoodleGroomer’s comments yesterday. Our son, at a relatively young age, passed away suddenly from an undisclosed cardiac ailment shortly after working out at the gym. The only positive that I have been able to take from this devastating event is that several of his friends and some acquaintances, through word of mouth, decided to re-evaluate their own well-being. We have heard that at least two are now on medication for blood pressure and another one was diagnosed with a relatively serious but controllable cardiac condition. I encourage everyone, despite their age, to take precautions with their health and get the necessary checks from a health care professional. Thank you.

Aww a cute little girl in a yellow raincoat

Very astute observation, Kate!

May it bring you all things good!

The good thing is that they went out prepared! We don’t want Stella’s gorgeous fur to get all wet

Hi, congrats on the article on you in the Guardian! It was fun to learn about your previous careers. Glad you started this one!

Spring weather is always a surprise. Just wait – it will change.

Kate, I love the way you evoke the essence of flowers in your creations.

I have always wanted to celebrate the rites of spring by sacrificing a virgin, but there was never one around willing to give up their virginity.
