Happy


First Day of


Spring


Everyone!


Evidence of Spring? DD Daughter took Ms. En to see the Easter Bunny. I re-decorated my dining room table, from St. Patrick's Day green to a pastel-colored Easter theme with my Easter snowglobes. And then....my sister e-mailed me on this first day of Spring. It's snowing at The Lake. She attached a photograph that she took today. It looked like a picture postcard of Winter....or a "snowglobe". I caught myself humming Christmas carols.

It's 81 degrees outside here in Arizona and it's only 10:30 AM. Although it got up to 90 degrees yesterday, I didn't have to use the air-conditioner...yet. It'll be warmer today. My windows are closed and the shades have been pulled down on the sunny side of the house.

Noteworthy Quote of the Day

Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.

- Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - 2007)
