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.

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
Multiple choice exam:
It’s snowing out! And there’s the forecast of two more single digit overnight lows. Your reaction is:
[ ] 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!
82!
Embellishments
Summer floats a slice of cucumber in my water glass;
Fall, a red maple leaf in my dog’s water bowl.
Celebrations of spring
I celebrate the first crocus, the first robin of spring. Someone else can celebrate the first blackfly.
