Spring Sky

Dramatic sky is dramatic.

I should go out and take photos of the garden. The columbine has a couple of bloom spikes on it. (This is the confused one that didn’t grow the first year I planted from seed, but then decided to sprout last fall, right before the first cold snap.) The buttercups and wild geraniums are blooming. The sedum is growing like the weed I suspect it is, and the coral bells have zillions of fat buds. Stuff is happenin’, y’all! But I’m too lazy to go take photos right now.

Rainy Day

It was grey and wet and gross today, which is seasonally appropriate, but kind of a drag after the gorgeous weather we’ve been having lately. And it’s supposed to stay like this for a while, too. The plants sure are enjoying it, even if I’m not.

Cable is fixed! It took trying three different DVRs before he found one that worked, and that one looks like it fell off the back of a truck, but I don’t care. Much. It is kind of irritating that one of the scratches is across the display, so some of the numbers are a little distorted. A minor irritation, sure, but it’s one of those things that will bug the crap out of me. Not as much as not having cable, though! And I didn’t, this morning. I got up and things had gone from bad to worse. Not only was the DVR not working, but all the stations were black screens. The tech said they’d pushed out a big update on Monday night, and I’m betting that’s what killed it.

All’s well now, though. Well, except for the fact that I lost all the programs I’d recorded. Hrmf.
