So, today is the first day of spring.
Big deal.
I don’t know about the rest of the country, but its cold and rainy here in my neck of the woods. It’s been cold and rainy all winter. We’ve had very little snow and I like snow. Snow is crisp and white and rain is dreary and wet.
All the rain is unusual around here. Especially for this time of year. It’s bizarre, but I guess it’s not as unusual or as bizarre as some weather reports from other parts of the globe. Like when it rained jellyfish in Tasmania in 1991. Or in 1990 when a Japanese fishing boat was sunk by raining cows. Personally, I don’t believe it rained cows. I think it’s more likely that the fishermen drank too much Sake and ran into some rocks or something. If I got toasted on Sake and sank a fishing boat, I’d blame it on raining cows, too.
From almost the beginning of time, there has always been unexplained accounts of weird rain. Accounts of frog rain, fish rain, squid rain, worm rain, crab rain, and even alligator rain. And in 1841, field workers in Tennessee reported blood rain. Yuck. I’d rather get pelted by crabs and stinging jellyfish than blood.
What are you doing on this fine first day of spring? Planting bulbs or is the weather too weird? And the bigger question is; do you believe in raining frogs and cows?
It snowed all day yesterday here at the Mexican border, much to everyone’s dismay. Would you believe we actually get “snowbirds” here? They caught some snow anyway.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 12:30 am.
The snowbirds brought snow with them. Too funny.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:22 am.
I don’t know what I will be doing later, probably homework but now I am getting ready for bed.Spring you say? Okay, I’ll take your word for it. The past three days our weather is behaving like it has multiple personalities; it’s sunny, it’s raining, it’s spitting a combination snow & sleet, it has issues.Quite frankly I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t begin raining frogs and cows soon.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 2:37 am.
I’t about to start raining here . . . again. If a cow crashes through my roof, I’m not going to take it well.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:27 am.
Up now, one kid at school and the other on the way, must have more coffee! And spring has not sprung here today, but if it doesn’t stop raining we will have rust. This weekend we picked out the seeds for garden but if it doesn’t clear up soon we will have to consider applying for wetland status in our yard. Oh well, it’s homework and then work on taxes again.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:31 am.
After I finish my game on FB, I’ll read until I’m tired.
Grumpy is visiting his girlfriend in Canada for a few weeks. So Auntie has his house to herself (well at nights since the business is run from there). Late this afternoon our friend Lynn and I are going over to play cards and have pizza for supper.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 2:47 am.
Sound like a great way to spent the first day of spring, Tina.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:27 am.
It’s Autumn here & my garden is going into it’s dormant state now. My way of saying, it can wait until Spring.
I’ve heard these tales of weird things falling from the sky. Freaky if true.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 3:04 am.
I love Autumn but much prefer spring . . . if it ever really gets here.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:28 am.
No spring here, we are almost through the first month of autumn and while we have had some lovely warmish days, we have also had rain. In fact we have had a lovely tropical low hit Far North Queensland with some damaging winds and also rain. There was also a cyclone that hit Western Australia which was interesting – not sure about the damage and stuff though. Today we had occasional showers which has sucked big time because I have clothes out on the line that are trying to dry.
I have heard about raining blue blobs of God only knows what and raining frogs as well as raining fish but the raining cow thing makes me want to quote the movie Twister where Helen Hunt’s character said “Cow” then a few seconds later said “Another cow”. http://youtu.be/2dQgjrrEeHA
The link I just posted is the scene where it came from.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 3:13 am.
I thought the girlfriend said that.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 3:36 am.
Nope, she was on the phone with a client.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 6:17 am.
I’ve heard that the blue blobs come from airplane latrines. Gross. I’d rather get hit with a cow.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:31 am.
Weird winter here, next to know snow, never got really cold. We had 81 degrees yesterday and today supposed to be hotter, spring in Ohio has gone nuts
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:28 am.
81 in Ohio? Not fair! Easter is going to suck here in Idaho.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:32 am.
Its 84 today. Everything is blooming months early. Don’t like it.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 4:32 pm.
I want to see it raining men. No frogs, cows or blood. Just men! *g* Okay, it has gone straight to summer here in NC. I will be working today, helping people choose the right plants for their landscape. I just refreshed all of my summer clothes yesterday, so bring on the 80+ degrees. I’m ready.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:46 am.
It needs to be raining ‘good’ men…not the schmucks! LOL
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 9:30 am.
Good men…with good muscular bodies! Is that too much to ask?
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:45 am.
Thanks Kelly. Now I will be hear It’s Raining Men in my head all day.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:33 am.
it’s sunny and very warm all of a sudden here! it’s going to be 19C today and a high of 25C tomorrow!
Sadly sping for m means allegries go into full bloom! all thta pollen bursting forth makes me wake up(like this morning) with my eyes puffed shut. my asthma kicks in full force and my nose starts running.
oh the joys of spring! snuffle!
but spring blooms are pretty from a distance!
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 7:09 am.
I’m luck in that I’m not allergic to flowers. I love Stargazer Lilies.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:35 am.
Forget the cows, frogs, or whatever strange things some might claim to have seen in falling in the rain — just let it rain money!
It’s definitely spring here in Qatar although the last few days it’s hard to tell through the sandstorm. Of course here spring doesn’t mean greenery or rain, it means the temperatures start heating up and everything that might have been green during the winter now starts to turn brown as it dries out … It’s probably a good thing we don’t get rain here often because if you were to mix it with this sandstorm we’d just end up with a whole lot of mud.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 7:18 am.
I like the way you think, Deb. Let it rain money!!!
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:36 am.
Like Judy said, Ohio has been lovely – a little weird and scary warm for March, but lovely. Our daffodils and magnolia trees are in full bloom here in SW Ohio. Gone are the Ugg boots, Sperry Topsider shoes and black North Face jackets we have seen all winter. College kids are in shorts and flip-flops, showing off their spring break tans.
I have seen hail the size of golf balls fall out of the sky but no frogs, salamanders or cows.
Going to work now and when I get home I am pulling more weeds from the front gardens. My reward will be a glass of wine on the back porch with a good book.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 7:20 am.
My daughter weeded and planted her spring bulbs last week, and her reward was a squirrel family digging them up and eating them.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:37 am.
I do not believe in raining frogs and cows, although I wouldn’t mind seeing some from the safety of a place that wouldn’t get flattened by falling cows.
Our weather has been weird. We are actually having spring and we never do. Usually we are buried in snow at this time, but it’s been in the 70s, sunny and my daffodils are up. I like it as long as we get no more snow.
But that’s as likely as raining cows.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 7:32 am.
I don’t really believe in raining frogs and cows either, but I really want to.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:46 am.
We had a really mild winter here in Orlando, Florida too. Makes me worried because of you know hurricanes. I swear I just jinxed myself. We’ve only had one hurricane since I’ve moved here over ten years ago.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 7:36 am.
Hurricanes and tornadoes are two things that I don’t have to worry about where I live. Crap, I probably just jinxed myself.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:24 am.
My garden is already started and I’m seeing lovely little green things growing from it. Today I’m going to school and maybe grocery shopping! Hooray! What a way to celebrate, right? We’ve had t-shirt weather for a couple of weeks now in the South. It was the mildest winter I have ever had – and I used to live in California. Very strange.
As far as believing in rains frogs and such…absolutely not.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 7:41 am.
Very jealous of your t-shirt weather. Enjoy!
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:26 am.
Raining jellyfish? Cows? definitely skeptical of those.
Here in the Northeast, the joke is spring started in November. Never got really cold here (meaning single digit temps). The 2 times it snowed – well once was oddly in Oct. – I was out of town so to me, it didn’t snow this winter at all. Very odd!
My 1st day of spring activity is – well, nothing special. It’s a foggy day in NYC.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 7:51 am.
I’m skeptical, too. But I like the thought that it could happen.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:26 am.
No rain here in central Indiana. The weather has been glorious. Warm; in the low 80′s and sunny. Although I think we may get rain later this week. The tulips and hyacinths are budding and blooming in the front yard and my lilac bush & forsythia are greening up.
Firstday of spring activity? Most likely sitting outside with a book soaking up whatever sunshine I can get.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:25 am.
I love lilac bushes. My mother has a ton and they smell glorious.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:28 am.
We have been having very warm weather up here. Yesterday was 25C and today is suppose to be 28C. My day will probably be the same as yesterday…a lot of outdoor play with my 2 year old. Chalking in the driveway, riding bikes and playing at the park. We might even have a picnic. Not bad for March around here.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:26 am.
Mr G and the three year old chalked the driveway last weekend when I was out of town. Of course it was nice while I was gone and started raining again when I got back.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:30 am.
LOL, yes actually, I do belive in raining toads, fish etc when it’s explained that it’s actually been swept up in a water spout….the number of toads, fish, etc however I do think is exagerated.
I’m going to work. It’s a tuesday…gotta go to work.
And BTW, I agree, winter…epic fail. But I’ll take it over the flooding of the late summer/early fall. And besides we had that weird snowstorm in October that dropped 17 inches on us.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:35 am.
Winter was an epic fail. But it’s snowing here today instead a raining. Maybe we’ll get winter in March.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 4:53 pm.
In an Atlanta suburb. It’s going to be in the mid 80′s again today. The pollen count is 9,369 (which is a new record – yesterday was also a new record). Even people who never have spring allergies are reacting to this one. It’s a great temperature. We have quite a bit of yardwork we need to do.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:48 am.
Oh man. I’d take a little high pollen count for 80 degree temps.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 4:54 pm.
85 and sunny here in Northern Alabama. I swear we had Spring in the Winter time and we are having Summer in the Spring time. Makes you wonder what Summer time will bring.
I am getting my hair done today and trying to keep cool. All this warm weather has my “personal summers” flashing.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 9:18 am.
I have been wondering what kind of crazy weather this summer will bring.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 4:55 pm.
When I was very little, like 4 or 5, we had a grasshopper invasion one summer, and they flew in big packs (flocks? herds?). But it looked like black clouds, and in my memory, it rained grasshoppers.
I am so ready for spring! We’ve been having it since December. I just want it to last and for summer not to arrive next month
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 9:27 am.
Julia,
Perhaps you have not been made aware of my grasshopper phobia. I read the first half of your first sentence and had to stop. Mr. G says that if he ever wants to kill me and make it look like natural causes, he’ll lock me in a room with a grasshopper.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 4:57 pm.
The weather is weird but in the best way possible! Spring is EARLY!! We really didn’t get a winter–HOORAY!!–and now we have May weather in March. Every single thing is blooming AT THE SAME TIME!! Daffodils and forsythia and camellias and pear trees–our Feb/March blooming stuff–are blooming right along side the azaleas and dogwoods—our April/May blooming stuff. It’s like the Miracle of the Blooms!
It’s raining right now and supposed to rain off and on all week, which, okay, spring showers, gotta have it for those blooms, but it makes grocery shopping, which I MUST do today, even less appealing than usual. Nothing worse than lugging groceries in the rain.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 9:28 am.
Our rain just turned to snow then to rain then back to snow. Misery.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 4:59 pm.
I love spring, other than the allergies that come along for the ride.
It’s actually raining today, although it’s supposed to clear up later this afternoon. Personally, I’m a shorts, t-shirt and flops kind of girl, so I like the warmer weather.
I’m sure there are explanations for the raining critters, but I’m sure the numbers are exaggerated.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 9:33 am.
Yeah, I think raining cows is highly exaggerated. Maybe a frog or two gets sucked up into a cloud. But a cow? Right.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:00 pm.
It’s been getting colder and colder here as the week goes on. Cold, drizzly, and – remind me why I like Seattle?
Rachel, for some reason your blog showed up on my Facebook page and says that I wrote it. I told my fans that you wrote it, but please feel free to stop by and respond to the comments if you’d like. People love talking about the weather!
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 9:35 am.
Susan, that is so wierd. The same thing happened to me last week with one of Sabrina’s posts. I was happy to let people think it was me. hahaa
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:50 am.
LOL! I could very well have written this one – “cold and rainy” certainly describes the weather around here.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 4:54 pm.
The weather around here has seemed like Seattle/Portland sort of rain. I love to visit Seattle/Portland, but . . . Well, you know.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:02 pm.
It’s great here! It actually feels like Spring (which typically it NEVER feels like Spring in Iowa until around May 15th). We’re getting some rain, but it’s much needed, so we’re no complaining.
Raining cows and frogs….nope–however, we’re it ever to actually rain men, I would move to that location in a heartbeat.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 9:50 am.
I think the fantasy of raining men is probably better than the reality. So, let’s clarify: Good looking RICH men.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:05 pm.
Excellent point. Let’s add a personality to cute and RICH! Sold, I’m relocating.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:52 pm.
Heck. Let’s go for it and add humor.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 9:00 pm.
I’m with you about the snow. I LOVE snow. It’s white and beautiful, and I always get excited when it falls. Unfortunately for me, I live in Vancouver, BC (Canada), and we mostly get rain here. Though I DO enjoy the rain, I just prefer snow in the winter months.
Yes, I absolutely believe in raining frogs (not so sure about the raining cows, though…). It was actually proven that it could rain frogs. Apparently (somehow) as the moisture evaporated into the clouds, there were frog eggs in there somewhere. So when the moisture gathered in the clouds, the eggs hatched, etc, etc. and once the frogs were too heavy to stay up there, they fell. I’ve got a friend who’s a scientist, and he explained it much better than I did. But as far as I know, it’s completely possible.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:14 am.
I know it’s possible, but probably is over reported.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:22 pm.
I completely agree. It’s like being struck by lightening in the middle of a city with tall buildings… it CAN happen, but is highly unlikely.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 7:50 pm.
It’s in the 80′s here in the Midwest — which is 30 degrees warmer than normal… My yard it already out of control and the lawnmower is in the shop for another week.. Everything is in bloom – which is kinda scary for it being March.. hoping that this doesn’t change drastically because it will affect the fruit crops…
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:39 am.
I think all crops are going to be affected by the screwy weather.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:23 pm.
Its been hitting near 80 here all week – its only March – and its New England. I am terrified of my plants all budding this early, especially after the freak snowstorm we had in October (which left us literally in the dark for days and destroyed every tree in my yard – meaning I have to replace all of them this year) and the hurricane in Sept, and the tornadoes in June – yep – freaking out about the weather, just a bit…and this blog is NOT HELPING telling me that it could be worse…much worse…now I have to worry about frogs and blood raining down!!!
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:48 am.
Someone has to be the barer of gloom and doom.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 5:27 pm.
Hail is too much for me, so I certainly wouldn’t want to be around for frogs. Cows, no way! We set a record high at 77 degrees here in our town in Central NJ yesterday. It’s supposed to hit 70 again today, but looking outside the prognosis isn’t good. It’s rather gloomy right now. We also had no winter. It was the warmest in recorded history with only seven or so inches of snow and that was mostly in October.
My day is going to be rather uneventful: a trip to the doctor with babysitting later. The “baby” is almost four and we have a great time together now that we can do more and more fun activities. She wouldn’t like raining frogs either.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:52 am.
A little frog won’t dent your car. Not like hail . . . or a cow.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:32 pm.
Since we are getting rain(alot of it) today I definitely believe in raining buckets:)
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:53 am.
Our rain turned into sideways snow. Did I say I liked snow more than rain? I’m not so sure today.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:34 pm.
We’ve had weird weather this year in SoCal. Winter usually means rain, but we’ve had very little. We’ve had weeks where there’s a 30-40 degree temperature shift either way, and usually both ways within 7 days.
Getting allergy shots, so I can tolerate spring, is how I’ll be spending my first day of spring. I’ve a new allergist, and she’s changing up my shots because I should have more relief than I do after nearly 2 years of shots. After the shots I’m going to the farmer’s market and will be helping in my son’s classroom with an art project.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 10:54 am.
I love to buy salsa at our farmer’s market. The best ever.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:37 pm.
I was raised in TN and when I read about the raining blood…well the cat in me came out and I just had to look it up. Now it makes sense. Raining blood…I just have to shake my head.
Tennessee and tornado alley…I’m not surprised what it will rain. We’ve had record temperatures here in the Chattanooga area. With this weather…I dread summer. humidity and hot flashes 
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:13 am.
I wonder it if wasn’t just some reddish muddy rain or something. Raining real blood is a little to New Testament for me.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:39 pm.
Sitting on the porch listening to my chimes .. they are CLANGING cuz the wind if fierce!!! We rain cats and dogs .. and if it is raining when the sun is shining … It will rain the same time tomorrow. If I had a nickel for everytime my dad said that .. we’d be neighbors of Bill Gates. Happy first day of Spring.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:25 am.
I have lots of chimes at my cabin and I love sitting in the sun, listening to the wind in the pine trees and chimes.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:42 pm.
I managed to get my walk in between rain storms, and it’s a good thing, because I needed the thinking time. I’m in the final throes of writing my book!
Back to work.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:34 am.
I get some of my best book thinking time while I’m in the shower. Don’t know why.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:44 pm.
It is sunny today.. and snowing. Go figure. I guess winter and spring are holding a steel cage grudge match for seasonal domination or something.
I am celebrating by working, taking out the trash and waiting till May (the last frost day) to maybe plant something. tres exciting.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:35 am.
I don’t know if taking out the trash is considered a celebration.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:46 pm.
Apparently it rained apples in Coventry, England in December of last year, which is kinda cool but bad for people not knowing ahead of time that they were going to be verifying Newton’s theory.
It’s pretty here in NC with all the flowering trees, but I think it’s supposed to storm for the rest of the week. At least it’ll wash away the awful yellow pollen that coats anything standing still longer than three seconds.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:50 am.
Apple rain? Never heard of weird rain where some sort of animal is not involved. Interesting.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:47 pm.
It’s the coldest here it’s been all winter — which isn’t that cold (mid 50s), but it’s just more weirdness.
I wish it would rain Kermits. Not so much Miss Piggies, though.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 12:22 pm.
I always loved Oscar The Grouch best.

We are getting Honey ready for a trip to the hospital. He
will be having surgery early tomorrow morning, in fact he
has to be there at 5:30 AM!
The weather system that tried to drown Dallas this weekend
has finally reached Houston. We were faced with tornado
alerts first thing this morning. Also had what my Daddy
used to call “gulley washers” with the possibilities of
flooding. Remember last year when Texas was a huge drought
site? We’ve almost made up for that situation with all the
rain we have been experiencing!!
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 12:33 pm.
I hear you, Patricia. I’m over in Austin and was awakened at 1:30 am by a cosmic Ka-Boom! I work at the Austin airport and oh man, today was not a pretty day for the airlines that fly to Dallas and Houston and their passengers. But so long as everyone is safe, bring on the rain after the drought we have been through. I took a walk in the park and watched the beautiful creek flow.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 4:14 pm.
I was in Houston last summer and I do remember the drought y’all had. I’m glad you’re getting rain now.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:52 pm.
80 degrees here. Another record in a long winter of them. We lucked out big time. I went and had my hair done, and now I am writing in front of an open window, smelling the blooming plants that should not bloom for another month.
The oddest weather I encountered in my life was when my plane could not land in Paris in Feb 2010 due to a hurricane. Who ever heard of such a thing in northern Europe? But, yep, that is what it was. 70 mile an hour wind, and it was raining cats and dogs
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 12:41 pm.
I need to get my hair done as my “natural highlights” are growing out.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:53 pm.
We’re traveling, and it has felt like summer, except for today. Cloudy and cold. However, your picture of Kermit reminded me of a bill board I saw along the way. It too, had a picture of Kermit and read: “Eats Flies. Dates a Pig. Hollywood Star. Confidence, pass it on.” It was one of those road trip sights that made me feel good.
We’ve had a very warm winter. So warm, that my bulbs are blooming a month early. The daffodils and are out, and the hyacinth isn’t far behind. I’ve been hesitant to put in any annuals since it isn’t past the frost date in our area.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 1:24 pm.
I’ve been traveling a bit, and it seems I bring bad weather with me. Then it follows me back home.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:55 pm.
It is hot! And has been here lately in the south (Alabama). Get the bikinis out and the suntan lotion on. Oh yeah, and the other issue – POLLEN!!!! My eyes look like a road map on something. My eyes have never been this bad! I am actually wearing my eyeglasses at work right now, so not right!
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 1:30 pm.
Ginger, I have not worn a bikini in a LOT of years.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:56 pm.
It’s in the mid-70s now and sunny, but this morning it was storming so bad that lightening kept hitting the cotton fields behind our neighborhood! Somehow, the kids slept through ti, though.
I don’t believe in raining animals, or frogs, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t some explanation for what happened, right? I don’t know what it could possibly BE, but I’m sure there is. I do agree that those fishermen must have been drunk!
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 1:43 pm.
I love thunderstorms. Of course that would be from the safety of my house.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:31 pm.
Yup a beautiful day in So Cal and I’m stuck at work.
Love the raining Kermits! Reminds of a book I saw recently when I was looking for a picture book for my granddaughter — Tuesday by David Weisner. Won the Caldecott in 1992. I can’t believe I never saw it before. Not exactly raining frogs but amazing none the less! Definitely on Grandma’s book list!
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 2:39 pm.
I thought the raining Kermits were funny. He just looks so dang happy.
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 8:29 pm.
Stuck at work!
I think California didn’t get the memo that it was winter until this month. It was such a mild winter, even in NorCal (where I live), my boys have been wearing shorts to school most days
Now that it is spring however, it is raining and it has been cooooold.

I’m stuck at work now. I spent all day running around in the rain. Would have rather been stuck at home with the fire blazing.

Autumn is my favorite season, but as far as spring goes… It is so springlike here. Actually, it’s almost summer-like. It has been in the upper 70s or lower 80s for over a week. I turned the A/C on last night because it was so warm and humid! All our bulbs are up, the flowers are blooming, the leaves are coming in… And I live in northern Indiana! Two weeks ago, I was still wearing my winter coat!
Crazy stuff.

Your cat looks just like mine. Or rather my son’s. She used to be mine until she decided she loved him more.

Hah! That’s awesome. She definitely loves me most. She cries whenever anyone else picks her up. It’s adorable! It’s not a common coat pattern, so it’s cool that you have a cat that looks like her.
Her name is Pixel!

It was cloudy and thinking about rain but no show here in Northern California. The hills are still brown as we have had only one third of our normal rainfall. However, the flowering plums and cherry blossoms are out through the city. I spent the day gathering the papers for doing my taxes. It still surprises me that there is always one piece of paper that was suppose to be in a safe place but never seems to be there. Still looking.
