The backyard could use some color, once the spring flowers are done. I can do containers and whatever, but I wanted to ask for advice. Not a lot of direct sunlight in this area.

Spring Fever
Azaleas are getting ready...
Camelias are almost done...
And trees are bursting with buds!
This is March Madness.

Curiosity didn't kill her, but she was trapped
One morning while getting ready for work, I heard a strange sound shuffling around. I discovered young Millie caught in a glue trap, set by Terminix. As you can tell from the photo, she was mortified, but reluctantly cooperated with it's removal. The "bait" was an anole who had found his way inside and onto the glue trap.

In the Trenches
It was engineer's week recently, and though I am not one, the local junior high invited me to come and speak to a few classes about m job, research and taxonomy/classification of organisms. I brought edible props of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and brussels sprouts, to illustrate they are all the same species. This week I am eating those props.

Maybe it was Memphis
Very recently, a trip was made up to the North Mississippi Delta inspired by the presence of Mr. Buddy Guy. What an amazing performance! I only hope I can have a fraction of his energy at 74 yrs of age. Following that show in Tunica, Memphis beckoned.
It was great to meet some new people, who enjoy the finer things in life. Except that guy over there on the phone--what is that about?!? Lame.

I heart houseguests
Great to see my dear friend Julie earlier this month for a visit to her old stomping grounds. She is definitely one of the few who enjoy returning to the Red Carpet City. We had a great weekend of visits, food, spa and catching up. My turn to come North!

2011 Homebrew Season begins
Ryan and newcomer Nathan Beane did most of the work, since I did the prep and cleaning, and Ned was the curmudgeon supervisor.
London Call Ale should be a good one to start with for our new season of brewing.
