In less grumpy news....
Mar. 31st, 2014 10:46 amThere are snowdrops blooming in the garden by the side door. They were not blooming yesterday noon-ish when we got home from church.
We went to a really good HS concert on Saturday night. Intended to show off the best of CHS music, it did. Band, orchestra, choir, small ensembles, a couple of soloists, etc. The grand finale was all the instrumentalists on stage and the vocalists up in the "juliet" balconies, doing an arrangement of tunes from Phantom of the Opera. Even the lighting crew got into the show, popping spotlights on and off to show whichever group was performing.
There was a female red-bellied woodpecker at the birdfeeder this morning, completely ignoring the suet feeder five feet away. I tried to get a picture, but it's hard to get a decent picture through the rosebush -- that birdfeeder is placed for optimum bird usage, not visibility from the house.
There is a black cat sprawled on his back in the sunbeam. He's very restful to look at. :)
There is open water in the pond, melted down to the bottom. Only in the shallow areas, and not under the snowdrift, but still....
And it's opening day of the 2014 baseball season. Go get 'em, Tigers!
