SPRING: 5 Jamal 177 (3 mayo 2020)
O my Lord! Make Thy beauty to be my food, and Thy presence my drink,
and Thy pleasure my hope, and praise of Thee my action...
- Bahá’u’lláh

MY THOUGHTS

Still not doing well. Not physically sick except for some sneezing.

WEATHER (April 16)

9°. 11 a.m. in Missoula. Good chance it will get over 20 this week.
24°. 6 p.m. in Lagos, Portugal. Warming up.
23°. noon in Lima, Peru. Pleasant week forecast. I've been there when it was miserable.
23°. noon in Mexico City. Rainy later this week.

IMAGES

Cool Spring day. The sun is making some effort; I'm not. Greening up nicely. Cottonwood is opening up its leaf-buds. Apple's in bloom. The yellow green of new leaves is beginning to dominate the view out the north windows. There's less snow on the mountains.

QUOTE

"I'll say this about myself: my name
was a name you knew, and I sang
until another singer took my place.
All that has passed, and so will this."

MY FORMER LIFE

I used to have a formal garden lined by arborvitae. There were various plants but one of my favorites was globe-thistle. The honey-bees would be so intent on gathering nectar and pollen that I could pet them. Nice friendly bees ... not at all like the nasty wasps we have here.

WATT'S GNUS

Just a short note on how this virus is affecting different demographic groups differently: "Hey, Corona" 

BLOGVILLE

Commented on 8 blogs yesterday. I made a list so I don't forget to visit everyone. Lots of people signed up for May. I have written 3 but only linked two. The first was a rant, so I didn't promote that one!

Feeling fuzzy-headed. Not really into today's prompt: "Is this a morning's person prompt?" 
Yesterday's prompt was better for me: "Xiǎo bái 小白"
