Watch for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth coming April 25-May 15. People will celebrate the anniversary of the platform by posting things only on Dreamwidth and doing other blog activities. Think ahead about what you'll want to post while the traffic is higher.


"Babes in the Pineywoods" belongs to the Big One. It belongs to the Big One thread of Polychrome Heroics. Bo-Art and Creamjeans talk with the Black Doctor.


The weather has been variable here. We got some more rain, yesterday was sunny with howling wind, today is cloudy but somewhat calmer. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, a flock of grackles, a flock of assorted blackbirds, a flock of brown-headed cowbird, several starlings, two mourning doves, a male cardinal, a brown thrasher, a robin, a wren, and a fox squirrel showing nipples. I've heard red-winged blackbirds and woodpeckers. Crocuses are done. Currently blooming: daffodils, squill, forsythia, violets, blue grape hyacinths, tulips, dandelions, pear, trilliums, snowbells, serviceberry, crabapple, lilac, bleeding heart. Redbud and columbine have flower buds.
