More Bulbs

I told you the daffodils were days away from blooming -- and sure enough, they have arrived!

In fact, suddenly we have more bulb flowers popping open every day. There are crocuses:

And there's also this:

This tiny jonquil comes from a bulb that I found lying on the ground in the cemetery last spring. It appeared to have been uprooted by some animal, and I pocketed it, brought it home and stuck it in a pot. I didn't know what it was and in fact forgot all about it, but obviously it survived.

The only other excitement we had yesterday...

...was the appearance of a woodpecker on our suet balls. Remember the ones I bought at Homebase that the birds didn't like? We theorized they were too old and/or too dry. Well, we bought a fresh container from Ocado and the birds seem to like those better.

And that's about it, aside from vacuuming, reading, television and cleaning and plant care. Plus ça change.

Dave and I are feeling more and more normal each day. I haven't tested myself today and I may not bother, because there's no point in trying to get myself to work today and tomorrow. They're teacher conference days and the kids aren't even around, so I wouldn't have much to do. I may as well wait until my appointed return date, Monday.
