Here are some violets I bought last weekend.  I’ve not yet decided where to plant them - [...]

Tree Update

Look at the TREE!!
I couldn’t wait until Friday; the weather around here is about to start sucking again, and I’m afraid that the rain will beat all the blossoms off the tree.   If there’s a dry spot in the next day or so, I’ll try to get another shot.

I’ve started walking in the morning. In the early morning. If it’s not crappy out, I’ll get up around quarter to six, hop into some sweats and a tee shirt, pop my iPhone’s earbuds in and head around the block for a walk of about 35 minutes (it’s a big block, y’all).

It’s springtime in New England, Kids! Here, look! Proof!
First, here’s a close-up of what’s going on at The Tree. Despite the pretty, soft red of these buds, in another week or so the entire tree will be a giant puff-ball of white blossoms:

These are forsythia growing in my yard!

These are adorable. [...]

Five Months In

Just call me Copy-Cat; Kizz checked in with her list yesterday, which reminded me to check in with mine. Let’s see how Mrs. Chili is doing with her 108 for 2008, shall we? My current comments are in bold.
1. Go on vacation with my family. Preferably to someplace warm and [...]

Dexter

I started TiVo-ing Dexter. It’s a show originally put out by Showtime that’s been picked up by CBS.

The main character of the show is a serial killer who works as a forensics expert in a Florida police department. It’s fascinating. The episodes are peppered with voice-overs and flashbacks about this man’s past. [...]
