46*, 100% humidity, sw 6 mph wind, Rain, FLOOD WARNING, FLASH FLOOD WATCH I'm going to talk about me for a few minutes, mainly because I'm in a meditative mood. Contemplating the state of things, perhaps brought on by the coming spring and the new job. You see, there are two sides to the coin of Girl Gone Gardening, an that is mainly why I keep two blogs.

The Pink Pearl Hyacinth yesterday. I love how compact the flowers are, and there angular curves. The Blue ones are not anywhere near developing the flowers yet. They have the green leaves but no buds showing.

Now and then I remember to slip my digi-camera into my purse before heading out places. So here are a few images from a normal day at work. View From My Office Window: One of the decorated conifers in the landscaping outside: A standoff just outside the hospital. You can't see it in the photo, but the standoff was in the laundromat in the distance and the street is blockaded. Shortly after
