It was too early and too cold for fire alarm shenanigans. And the day kind of went downhill from there.

The wildest moon
whispers true
a thousand fortunes blue

Why do people have to argue when you tell them they have the wrong number? This has happened to me several times, so it’s not like it’s an isolated incident. Case in point, this gem from last year. (Sorry about the crappy image quality. I hated not being able to do screenshots on my old Blackberry.)

At least neither of these winners threatened to “beat my ass.” Also, what the hell is a “chick fag”?

I finally got around to planting the seeds I had. There were several varieties of zinnias, four o’clocks, and echinacea. Hopefully something will come up this time. In the meantime, the irises and columbine are blooming their little heads off.

One of the little neighbor kids wanted to climb the tree, but was too short. It looks like he found a solution.

Just so you know.

I started this one almost exactly a year ago, then set the notebook aside and lost track of it. I found it again while spring cleaning last weekend. Just in time for Monday’s all day, in-house conference. Lucky me!
