Magnolia trees, plum trees, our neighbors' gorgeous weeping cherry, Bradford pears -- lots of things are blooming or budding. Yet we're still seeing blizzards and Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-61740469685423086992009-03-27T17:06:00.000-04:002009-03-27T17:06:00.000-04:00I have seen some robins, and some tulips are nosin...I have seen some robins, and some tulips are nosing out of the dirt. I look at my yard, though, and see all the work I need to do. I hope that doesn't mean I'm a pessimist.<BR/><BR/>But I do love spring and all the flowers that come with it--and I enjoyed your friend's poem. :)Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-24179989539349933182009-03-27T10:48:00.000-04:002009-03-27T10:48:00.000-04:00Caryn and all,Snow???

But I fight back: I've got a sixty-something romance simmering in one series, and I just created an octogenarian killer. So there. I'm fighting back.<BR/><BR/>Lonnie, you left out the last part of that lovely poem:<BR/><BR/>"Some say the bird is on the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-83020925826341403852009-03-27T08:35:00.000-04:002009-03-27T08:35:00.000-04:00Over on the cozy chicks blog a few days ago one of...Over on the cozy chicks blog a few days ago one of the authors (Kate Collins I think) blogged on things she's done in the name of "research." I think paintball would qualify-suit up Liz!<BR/>The Bradford ears aropund here are in full bloom and daffadils are everywhere.

I've just written my protagonist into a situation where he has to play paintball, and I plan to troll my local MWA and SinC chapters for fellow suckers, er, researchers. Paintball, anyone? I wonder if they give a discount to senior citizens?Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.com
