The paradox of Spring in Michigan: you get a taste of warm weather and you yearn for it in your bones. That's why so many from here retire to the South. At the same time, you love when it's a cool and extended Spring so all the blooms last longer. It is so beautiful. We had a blast of cold air sweep down and it got down to 29° on the morning of 4/25.

After two years of a problem carburetor on my gas mower, which two repair shops were unable to fix (for a price). My neighbor across the street has had an electric mower for three years so after consulting with him, I made the investment. It helped that they were on sale at Lowe's with an enticement of a free battery on selected models. Unless you have a small yard, having two batteries is the way to go. My grass out front was pretty thick in places which was easily handled by the e-mower. No more carburetor, no more oil and spark plug changes and no more gasoline.

Earth Day Buffet at the Diner
It's end of term for C and typically, she helps clean out the department frig and brings home a semi-annual selection of goodies for our patrons. Big slices of pizza, sweet goods and Middle Eastern cuisine topped the menu. It was a fine afternoon, bright, coolish with a good breeze. Folks across the street were entertaining relatives from Montreal so the Québécois flag was flying in front.
Mr. Birch's leaves are beginning to come out:
Stubbs enjoying a sweet:
Greedy Napoleon grabbed a piece of pizza nearly as large as himself:
A surprise! Another nutkin, smaller, perhaps a female-Napoleon's wife Jo? sampling a sweet.
Mr. Redbird flew in and sampled a danish:
DHS sauntered through the Diner without stopping-just making his presence known. Later, he conked out on top of C in front of the fireplace.
