By the way, Autocorrect, when I say I saw my first robin in town, I do NOT mean I saw my first Robin in town. NOT THE SAME.
The hour returns…
OK, so early next Sunday morning, we are bringing BACK an hour from the great beyond. So where did that hour COME from? Was it the hour that mysteriously disappeared last spring? Does anyone know where it’s been between then and now? Do we know what – or who – it’s bringing back with it?

Karma and the frogs
It’s a wet night, so there’s more frogs on the road than I’ve seen all spring. I try to avoid hitting frogs as much as I can, but then I started thinking. If you were born a frog due to your past karma, and I hit the frog, would I have freed the frog from its existence so then it would be free to move up a step in its next reincarnation, OR would I be dooming it to be reincarnated yet another time to learn the lessons it had yet to learn as a frog?
This is why I try to avoid hitting frogs, it’s too much responsibility otherwise.
Forest in the blood?
That is not what they told me at the Red Cross yesterday.
Now, the dryad who was in line behind me? SHE had the forest in her blood.

At least the movie wasn’t all just fluff
I saw White House Down last night.
This was NOT a movie about collecting feathers from geese on the White House lawn.
SO disappointed.
Multiple choice exam

[ ] How lovely! A little fresh snow makes everything look so fresh and clean!
[ ] Oh, well. April’s right around the corner.
[ ] It’s the final straw. I think I shall take to my bed and huddle under the covers until the Fourth of July. It should be warmer by then, I hope.
[ ] All of the above
[ ] None of the above
You’re doomed, plants
I talk to my plants.
Mostly, I just sigh, and tell them, “You know, you’re gonna die.”
An Ode to a Warm April Day
Woohoo!

Summer floats a slice of cucumber in my water glass;
