Tiny Tim

This is Bradley’s aptly-named biosphere fish thingie, Tiny Tim. He’s a great pet. Requires ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, except basic daylight, and he comes to you if you call his name. “Tiny Tim, Tiny Tim!”

Meanwhile, out by the dogwood tree we’re following…
Eight days after Easter: It was a rainy day today, the eighth day in the dogwood countdown. Thanks to Brad, we now have three super-official guesses on the number of days it will be after Easter that the dogwood reaches full blossom.
I say 21.
My Gemini, overly optimistic, alter-ego says 11.
Brad says 17.
WAY TO GO, BRAD! You’re a KING for registering a guess and making me feel less lonely in my quest for guesses!

See all those seeds on the ground underneath the dogwood? (Feast for a chipmunk.) Thanks to the squirrels (who dump the seeds out by the grubby-little-clawfull) and the rain, my troubled little dogwood (read about her anthracnose and chlorosis troubles here) will be competing with a hundred different varieties of weeds later this spring! Whoopee!
Well YOU’Re up early… I would guesstimate dogwood bloom time in approximately 9 more days. That’s for your dogwood. My dogwood: approximate bloom time 2010….

Heidi, By “nine more days,” does that make your guess 9, or 9+8=17? I’m so confused! I’ll be there in 2010 to document that dogwood of yours. That’s going to be SOME TREE!
It’s my mother’s birthday. I had to get up early to be the first kid/grandkid to call, but Faith beat Gregory and me by AN HOUR AND A HALF. Ugh!!!

How about April 15 (tax day)…that’s my guess. Is that 23 days after Easter? Love that chipmunk :o)
