1. We did manage to make it to the BBG today. What’s more fun than traipsing through the botanic gardens with a sullen, complaining 8 yr old? Same plus<\/i> nearly every other resident of our fine city. I have rarely seen the gardens so crowded on a non-event day. We actually had to cut the trip short because the crowds were getting to all of us.<\/p>\n

2. Here’s the flower report:
\nMagnolias: mostly finished
\nTulips: full bloom
\nGrape hyacinths: full bloom, like a bluish-purple carpet
\nLilacs: mostly not open, but a few bushes have started, eep!
\nCherries: a mixed bag, some trees are full on, and some just have buds. Seems like the trees with whitish blossoms open earliest:<\/p>\n

\"blossoms\"<\/div>\n

It’s like a crazy nature fast forward over there, even the azalea bushes have a couple of blossoms opening. Looks like Gus will have to endure a few more awful weekends of floral viewing. We’ll be consulting the cherry blossom status map<\/a> to plan our viewing strategy.<\/p>\n

3. We did have ice cream bars, phew. And as you can see, even the non-treat time wasn’t all bad:<\/p>\n

\"stream\"<\/div>\n

Nothing like a muddy stream to really cheer a kid up after being dragged to see boring old flowers with his boring old parents.<\/p>\n

4. Have you seen my to-do list? It’s gone missing, which has completely thrown me for a loop because I need to update it for this week and I usually start with the old list when I’m making a new one. I’ve got a couple of piles of work- and research-related stuff on my desk and shelves, and it’s not in any of them. I *just* had it yesterday, and I can’t for the life of me imagine what’s happened to it.<\/p>\n

Maybe the cats stole it. I’ve been talking trash about shaving them lately because with the warm weather they are shedding like mad. This could be their devilish revenge: wig out the control freak by stealing her list! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
