Orange mulch

Not sure why anyone would pick bright orange for mulch around trees. I does not look natural to me. How do they achive that color? It especially contrasts with the bright wet spring green grass.

Sudden spring

Every year it amazes me how cold wet spring suddenly changes to warm beautiful spring... in just a few days. It seems one day everything looks dead, and the next the lawns are green, the crocus and daffodils are blooming, and the trees are in flower. It really is a miracle.

Wait here

I have been to two Nordstrom stores and each had several waiting areas outside of the dressing rooms that were uniquely decorated and furnished with comfortable furniture. An obvious sense of design and point of differentiation.

Go electric?

There is a lot to like about going electric but range anxiety is still a real thing. Great design and good for the environment make it tempting.

Day 5

I agree that April snow in Webster NY is not that unusual, but can we agree that five straight days of snow showers is unexpected? Yes, it has snowed and melted, but only for the flakes to return again and again.

Caution: April snow

It's been a strange day in Western New York... periods of snow and stretches of sunshine. And it's April 5th which makes the snow part the strange part.

So I am thinking it was a good decision to move south, if we can get our act together and get there.
