so many blogs!

I'm doing a bit of an experiment. To see what the differences are between certain blogs. Namely: WordPress, Blogger, and Tumblr. (Respectively: http://aphotofortoday.wordpress.com/ , this blog, and http://alittlehappydance.tumblr.com/ )

That's why I haven't been posting here on Blogger quite as often. Feel free to check out my other blogs though! I'm working on figuring out which one to keep up with a bit more regularly. There are definitely differences between all of the hosts, and some are better than others at certain things. They all have their peculiarities, that's for sure.

In other news: things are looking up for moving back to North Carolina!!! I'll be back in time for my brother's graduation in June ... with just enough time before said graduation for a trip to Michigan. I know, random and not-at-all-on-the-way. But what's life without a bit of adventure, even if it's not necessarily "on the way."

Things in this neck of the woods are going. That's the most I care to elaborate other than to say that work is going well and it's been glorious to be able to see my sweetheart on a daily basis. I'm really going to miss that a lot for the couple of months that we're apart. Oh, and it's spring! Finally!!! Here are a few photos to document that it is, indeed, spring here in New England.


Repotting tomato seedlings into their own pots to grow, grow, grow!


The very last of the snow in the front yard just as it was melting.


Fungus!!! Neat mushrooms growing all over the rotting wood in the backyard.


Iris shoots!!! I can't wait until they bloom.

It's snowing again!!! It was all mush yesterday ... but it's a winter wonderland once again!

regarding cowlicks:

Cowlick: pronounced [kou-lik] - noun. A tuft of hair that grows in a direction different from that part of the rest of the hair. (Dictionary.com)

The term originates from the bovines' habit of licking its young, which results in a swirling pattern of the hair on a calf. (Wikipedia.com)

I have at least three cowlicks. At least one at the back of my head, and at least two in the front above my forehead. When I was little this caused my bangs to part off to one side. (As seen in the photo below.) When I got older I grew out my bangs and parted my hair instead. That seemed to take care of some of the hair-sticking-up-at-odd-angles. Mostly I just worked with it. Now it results in epic bed head. And I mean epic. I didn't know my hair could stand up quite that straight. More pictures soon ...

dreaming of warmth


This looks very warm. It might be warm very close to that fire. But I have news for you, it's cold everywhere else. And it takes a looooong time for everywhere else to heat up. In my dream house, if there is a wood stove, there will also be a supplement source of heat for keeping the house warm. I will be moving soon to a warm house. In the mean time I'll huddle by my space heater and dream of warmth.
