FOTD – April 17 – Daffodils by Owen Kraus
Owen took these with his phone, but it was a good day and the sun was out for a while. It has gone back behind the clouds now and it’s chilling down.
Now, it’s really — almost — spring. If you look, you can see the leaves for the daylilies and columbine. About three weeks and the flowers will all bloom. These last weeks of waiting are hard.

SERENDIPITY: SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
Oh, I can almost smell the perfume just looking at the photos. I was told the hillside on our farm is covered with the daffodils now but just can’t get out there any more. Huge sigh!

I can barely manage the stairs from the ground floor to our “level.” It’s just 12 steps but some days it feels like Everest. The years — no matter what anyone says — are not just numbers. Double sigh!

Spring? We are entering Autumn here which just proves that the world is not flat. Okay the world is flat and I’m just a conspiracy theorist spreading hate speech that the Earth is round and most of us just planet shame the Earth. Now imagine the stuff I could dream up if I was still in my drinking days. 🙂 P.S. I love spring and autumn, my favourite times of the year.

Flat or round, whose counting. Er, looking. Okay, flying. Have you read any of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels? Not only are they hilariously funny, but they all take place on a flat world.
If it were up to me, we’d always be entering Autumn because spring is rarely more than one afternoon in May followed by heat, haze, and humidity — lovingly known as “the three Hs.” We are one of those places where you need an over coat before breakfast and air conditioning after lunch.

We need to see spring. It helps. You know, it’s sunny again, but between sun and sun, it hailed. Weird weather!

Yes. It’s weird weather. One reason is climate change. 🙏

I know. Yesterday was a good example. Sun, clouds, sun, hail, sun, gray … night. This is the third time we’ve had hail in two weeks — and the first time I remember getting hail in spring. Sleet in winter and sometimes, a bit of hail, but bBig hail, the size of marbles? That’s very unusual.
