Yeah, it looks and feels like April, here.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was thinking April myself, but then I remembered that it sometimes snows in April, so I revised to May.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I was just reading on a blog somewhere that the cherry trees in DC are already starting to bud. On January 6th. That shit ain't right.

Man, it's going to be ugly if real winter arrives. It's supposed to be 66 here in the Bostn area. That's jacket-less, sweater-less weather as far as I'm concerned, and just purely wrong.

It snowed on May (er...something shortly after the 8th), in 1976 or maybe 1977. I just remember, because it was snowing at the cemetary (cemetery? graveyard!), when we were burying my dad's mother.
I'm a little scared for the summer, if this continues. There's bound to be water shortages, galore.

Yeah, we have daffodils coming up here. I wonder if they'll replant? They only bloom once, right?

ION, you can burn podcasts to CD, right? This week's TAL is about supers, I think mine would get a kick out of it.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I have daffodils that will bloom in a couple of days. I've found that yelling at them "go back, go back" doesn't work. There was just a beekeeper on the radio, and she said this kind of warm winter is very hard on bees. They stay active, but there are no flowers, so they go through their honey supply. Who knew?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't ask for a vodka gimlet and then get pissed that it's sweet. That's the freakin' drink buddy.
The last two places I've ordered it have deviated from that, though. And in googling for the one true gimlet I noted sources that thought it was only a gimlet if it was gin, meaning a vodka gimlet is cast aside as unreal with those less sweet impostors.
msbelle, the anguish lies in clothes I desperately love (since I did a purge of the indifferent last year) no longer fitting. Replacing them with quickly and cheaply acquired stuff is practical, but doesn't address the irrational heart pain.

Well, I did hear that we're in an El Nino season this year, so the summer might not end up being all that scorching (lord I hope).
