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!”

    :D

    He fetched every one of those sticks in there. Seriously.

    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!

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

    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!!!

    :D

    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….
