Nine Day Dogwood
-
Nine days after Easter: I ran out yesterday to snap a few quick pictures of the dogwood we’ve been watching. Thanks to Brad and Heidi, we now have 4 guesses as to how long it will take for her to reach full blossom.
I said 21 days after Easter.
My Gemini alter ego said 11 (not gonna happen).
Brad said 17.
Then Heidi said 17 too. (Copycat.)

This bud has been brutally ripped open, probably by a squirrel or bird. Interesting to see a cutaway. It was probably something just like this that inspired the world’s first cutaway info-graphic.
-
I like this one because of the blooming honeysuckle in the background. It’s spring!
-
It’s challenging to keep taking pictures of dogwood buds. How do I keep it fresh? I tried to get a shot showing how windy it was, but it hasn’t worked just yet. Coming soon: nighttime shots!
-
When I came inside, I caught Kaptain Karl napping on my keyboard! Ugh!
-
He redeemed himself by posing for me.
-
“Turn this way, dip your chin slightly, now lift your left paw as if to plead, ‘Come hither, Twirly.’”
-
Twirly is too agile for the Kaptain.
-
This was the object of Karl’s affections yesterday.
-
If only he could get outside.
NOT gonna happen.
Ok, but I said it in a DIFFERENT way than Brad.
(Me + Math = 0)

I got out the calculator to figure out that your “eight more days” plus the ninth day we were on would equal 17 and I’m still not sure I did that right.
Me + Math = 0 too.
Where’s Collin when you need him?
