The Big DumpTruck

Head over to the Leominster Barnes and Noble (289 North Main St) at 2pm to meet Adrian Nicole Leblanc and have your copy of Random Families signed! And yes, I verified the time in the local paper. If I can get the boy out of the house, I might go just for support, you know, to make the crowd even bigger. I’m sure Junior could have his arm twisted, he loves the book store.

I bought myself some purple tulips this afternoon because Shaws has them on sale. I cannot resist sale tulips. Ever. What with all those spring robins hopping all over my lawn, I was filled with the spirit of spring.

Purple, red or pink, for those of you taking notes.

This guy and a couple dozen of his friends were hanging out today. I have to tell you, I was delighted to see them.

I just wish they weren’t so skittish. I wanted to get a better photo, but this will have to do.

It was worth getting snow in my boots and all over my pants to refill the birdfeeder with more expensive seed.

Get a really really complex answer.

It’s very warm out, I mean, relatively warm, in the 40s. But some of my snow and ice isn’t melting because it isn’t in the sun. I think that’s totally unfair. I was checking my mailbox (nothing yet…where are youuuuuuu Mr. Mailman?) and hit a patch of black ice. Did that weird arms “akimbo” dance and dropped a brand-new notebook into the snow, messing up at least half the pages. I’m just lucky I didn’t fall or pull something. But why the hell was there black ice anyway?
