We’ve actually had a very lovely spring, so far. It’s been a little chilly, and though the rain is kind of annoying, it’s good for all the growing things. It’s a nice change from the past few years, where we skipped spring entirely and went straight to summer.
I was trying to get a shot of raindrops on the top sides of the thistle leaves, but then I noticed that the undersides were even prettier. The bottom one even has tiny spider webs strung across the little thistle hairs.
This little guy was hanging out on a sassafras sapling. I love the raindrops clinging to his little hairs and sparkling like tiny jewels.
It was still light out when I went to bed last night, which makes it difficult to fall asleep. It also makes it difficult to tell whether or not the aquarium light is still on. Oops! I got up this morning, and my poor little fishies had spent the whole night under interrogation lights.
In unrelated wackiness, I’m now getting Korean junk mail. Not spam, mind you, but good, old fashioned postal mail. I think the company has seriously misjudged their target audience.
I just went to the supply room to get a package of Post-its. There weren’t any, so I commented to a coworker that we’re out. Her response: “We didn’t even used to have Post-its.” Oh. Alrightythen! We didn’t used to have computers, either, and yet, life without them is now damned near unthinkable.
I wonder if she’ll forsake her car when she finds out that people used to ride in horse-drawn carriages?
