Well, I talked to the realtor today. Alas, my house isn’t worth as much as I had hoped. So, looks like I will be living here at least another year. However, since the weather is so beautiful, and the spring peepers are in full chorus, this is not really such a bad thing.Also, [...]
I’m hitting the home stretch on my grant, and I realized last night that I had written past the point where I made sense. I’m trying to get the feds to give me money to develop an environmental education website for teachers. I was trying to explain why we didn’t want it to [...]

The crocuses (croci?) finally were able to bloom–almost a month later than last year.

EEEEEWWWW.
Looks like a mouse climbed up into the motor, made a nest in the [...]

The weather is lovely today. It was so warm, I opened up the back door to let some fresh air in.
PHEW! The back door has leaked and gotten all moldy. Time to [...]
