It was spring this last week - we got into the high 60s (F) and most of my starts have started. One of my lavender plants did not make it through the hard frost we had in January, so I got a new one and of course had to buy a couple more plants while I was at the nursery . . . My tulips are up but not unfurled, daffs are just poking their heads up, which is late for both. But the cherry and plum trees are in full flower, the azaleas and rhodies are in bud, and the heather is in full bloom. Folks with allergies are sniffing. Fortunately I seem to have outgrown that affliction, or perhaps it was moving to the desert for three years that un-conditioned me to react to local stuff. Quiet life these days. Working in a desultory manner on two presentations I'll be giving in April and May. Funny story: the May one is on the phenomenon of possession in certain religions/cultures, but when the title went up on the relevant website this week it said "Physiological, Religious, Cultural, and Psychological Aspects of A. S. Byatt's Possession." I am NOT talking about the book! But I suspect that autocorrect decided that I must be, and the web person didn't notice. Fired off an email and hopefully it will be corrected today . . .
