Friday, 4/16

 I have two pictures to show you. And while the first might be more important in the long run--


The second may be bigger news in the next few weeks.

First of all, I survived my second shot with few side effects, at least so far. As happened with my first shot, I have an incredibly sore left arm. And it seems like I have slight fever.  Hopefully, that will once again be the extent of the side effects. However, if I pass out and/or start speaking Klingon on the air today, you'll know that the side effects just took a while to kick in.

It's a small price to pay for safety, though.

Now, on to the second picture. As I've been saying (almost non-stop) for the past few months, we've had a really mild winter up here. Really, really mild. Just how mild, you ask? Well, this picture may provide the answer--



The buds on my favorite lilac tree have started to pop. That's how mild the winter has been. They're almost a month ahead of schedule this year. In fact, they may be in a race, and here's the deal about that race—my parents are coming home from Florida for Mother's Day weekend. What shows up first—my parents or the lilacs? That's something I've never had to wonder before.

And THAT'S just how mild of a winter (and spring) we've had this year.

Chew on that, and have yourself a great weekend, to boot!
