  2. I set the photos to post at midnight, but they don't always.
    Then I have to go in and reset them and get them to post realtime.

    I have no idea why this happens.

  5. Thanks for posting the note on tc's blog, listener. I still can't figure out how to post there.

  6. Off to the Bay Area tomorrow and Thursday. I have three jobs up there, one on Wednesday and two on Thursday, and it makes no sense at all to drive up and back twice. Easier and no more expensive to stay overnight. Found a reasonably priced bed and breakfast in Berkeley for Miyoko and myself. Will stock up our daughter's refrigerator and take her and her roommate out to dinner Wednesday.

  7. Pretty day here. Warm (about 43ยบ), sunny and shadowed in turn. And in my mailbox, weather warning for 7" of snow for Wednesday into Thursday. On top of about 10" remaining from the last few. . . . My honey said the last storm in DC was the second largest of his life. And this from a man who spent 20 years in Montana. . . .

    It's about 32 deg here. Got some hazy sunshine after snow flurries earlier. Worked yesterday, but nothing has dome in today -- although I know there is still another paper to revise. So I'm catching up on a bunch of things that need doing but have never quite reached the top of my to-do list.

  9. Alan, I'll send you TC's address, assuming I can find it again. I know I saw it recently...

    listener, hurrah for the purple finch. I heard the first bird around here, a mourning dove, Saturday morning.

  11. Thanks for posting the Ally update, puddle.

    I am home from work, but again with a low grade fever and a sad lower gut. Blah.
    I can't seem to shake this stupid virus.

    Going to go have a lie down.

    NOT happy with the doctor in NYC. When Ally's Mom heard about the schedule change and remarked that they need more notice on such changes the doc was quite rude and unprofessional. The nurse apologised but that doctor ought to be called on the carpet! It's no small thing to upend people's lives! Now both of Ally's parents have to renegotiate their work schedules and Ally has to make and extra train trip to and from, and on Friday it will be in a blizzard!! Grrrrrr.

  12. listener ~~ do you have the name of the tulip in the picture? I think it's just gorgeous. Wouldn't mind trying to find some.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ya. I was thinking the same thing. ♥

  14. I'm not sure of its name, puddle. It was a large pink tulip.
    I think I got the bulbs at Agway that year.
    That's the only one the deer didn't chomp off!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Oh. I didn't know deer liked tulips. Prolly a lost cause then: they eat my daylillies every year. Oh, well. Gorgeous flower (and pic) though.

  16. listener always has lovely pictures.

  17. Did I mention that I'm currently reading The Idiot by Fiador Dofstoyefsky (or something like that. Y'all can work out what I mean.) Sis made disparaging remarks about my light reading. But, really, it's no heavier than a lot of Nineteenth Century English novels. Will finish it tonight or tomorrow.

    The weather magnet thingy on my Earthlink home page claimed there was a wintry mix this afternoon, but I failed to see it on looking out the window. Tonight it claims light snow. I'm doubtful. We're supposed to get a storm tomorrow and Thursday. But, if it's anything like the last "storm" we got, we'll be lucky to receive four inches of snow.

  18. Cat, you will probably wake up to 4-8 inches of snow tomorrow, then a couple more inches throughout the day.

    Fyodor Dostoevsky is a hard name to write and his works are a true accomplishment to read. My hat is off to you! ♥

  19. Thanks, Cat! :-)

    Well, puddle, everybody eats tulips...from deer to moles.
    But nobody eats daffodils! So plant all of those you like!

  20. What excellent parents! I'll bet she loves to see you come!

  21. You're welcome, Alan. Send me something to post any time you like and I'll post it with your name.

    You'd have to make a Google account (or one of the other ones).
    I have one because Renee created it for me, so I could post on our front page here.

  22. So glad you got that sorted out! :-)
