(no subject)

Slept in late, texted with my new chum, had brunch, finished re-watching Generation Kill. Time to be more active.

OK, tasks for this weekend:

Maryland state taxes (never got around to doing them when I did the federal)

Get ready for game next weekend

Start spring cleaning

Get tickets for upcoming Birchmere shows

Laundry

Record expenses for last week.

But first I need a shower and some time outdoors enjoying the lovely weather! I think a trip to the park or down to the river is in order. Maybe tomorrow I'll get up early and take the bike down to the Tidal Basin and check on the cherry trees.

ok, so it is Spring (almost)

I saw a robin today.

And, as I said the the cats when closing the windows just now, "Alas, warm spring afternoon seems to be all gone for now."

Well, yes, seeing as it's nearly half past 7! I can't get used to the daylight savings change.

30 Poems: Number 15

From another oft-quoted poet.

One of the things I miss about my childhood is that spring used to be filled with daffodils. My father, the perfect combination of consummate gardener and absent-minded professor (I know from whom I get my jackdaw-minded way of pottering from one project to another), planted masses of them, and each year when green started coming back into the world it was accompanied by a great deal of yellow, and we would always have jugs of them about the house.
