Yesterday we got up to the upper 70s (F), the thermometer in the car listed the temp as being 77 (F). Today we're back in the mid t0 upper 60s (F) and if the long range forecast is correct, we're definitely going to be seeing closer to normal early spring temps. That doesn't mean everything that has started to bud and bloom is going to stop. It's too late for that to happen. Today, showers are expected.
I was watching Death is in the Details on Hulu on and off for a while. Last night I watched the last episode and was disappointed. The reveal of who the villain was intended to be a shocker, I thought it was a cheat. There was nothing clever about it. I read that the producers were optimistic about a 2nd season, let's hope they're wrong.
The invalid old lady downstairs is doing fine, by that I mean Lily. I suspect her biggest problem is the boobly cyst on her wrist, which is swollen, and pains her to walk. Other wise she's alert, watching me constantly when I'm at my writing desk, and eating. She has a good appetite, and drinks, and goes outside to do her business, but then it's back onto the sofa in the writing room where she perches herself on pillows to rule the world. An email (with pics) has been sent to the mobile vet who's on vacation until Monday. What I find surprising is there's only one in the area. I'm definitely not living in a "All Creatures Great and Small" area.
Thanks to the warm temps and the rain, things are budding and blooming. The peach tree I cut back wioll soon be filled with blossoms. The nectarine? Dead as a doornail. Here's a pic that I took.
