While there are still a few patches of snow on the ground, we have had a spate of warm summer like weather for the past few days. Last time I looked this morning the thermometer said it was 77 degrees! Where I live we aren’t supposed to do our planting before Memorial Day (sees and hardy plants are okay, but not things like tomatoes, many types of herbs and other annuals) – that’s how long we can expect frost for. Yet here it is April 23rd and it was 65 at 7am and now nearly 80 degrees. Crazy weather. Beautiful weather. I’m looking at my garden (which was covered with snow only 4 days ago) and feeling as though I am way behind the 8 ball already in getting it ready!

I just love my touch screen tablet!
I have had my new Lenovo ThinkPad X60 for over a month now and the Touch Screen is my favorite. Read more (and also a bonus tale (confession?) about me absentmindedly leaving my laptop behind (open and running) at the Sofia, Bulgaria airport – oops)
