Things are starting to bloom here, but... there's snow today and a freeze warning for this weekend.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
We're getting toward the end of daffodils and forsythia here (NC), but my cranesbill geranium has buds on it and the redbud is blooming like crazy.
I know we'll get a series of 80-90F days in a week or so, so I'm restraining myself from buying pansies for my front planters. I just have to wait until mid-April for the torenia, and that'll look good all the way to the end of fall.

Yesterday I saw what I think may be daffodils starting to form buds. I can see buds starting on trees, too.
Now if we'd just get some shirtsleeve weather I'd be good....

Ann, that's a ferret.
Just saw the recommendation of Elizabeth Taylor movies. I have to add Suddenly Last Summer. A film version of a Tennessee Williams play starring Taylor, Katharine Hepburn, and Montgomery Clift. So, movie magic even if the story is very, very badly dated. (On the other hand, it's really much more Hepburn's movie than Taylor's or Clift's.)

Compassionately intolerant
I got to see it!
The kid did a lovely thing...and I'm bemused by how easy it seemed to be. If only every protest/request could go that way!
Basically, he made a sign, got a petition of 100 signatures and his Great Granddad attended a council meeting. et voile! The library stays open...for a year, until a newer facility opens.
Still. Good on him for speaking up.

Punishingly Intricate
I've heard two pieces of very troubling news about two different friends in the last hour and I'm sitting here quietly freaking out, there's nothing I can do about either at the moment, and really, REALLY hoping this isn't one of those things coming in 3s situations!
