A Find of a Lifetime: Jefferson Books Quest Ends at Washington University « Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello

What a stretch! I mean from Thomas Jefferon's environs to St. Louis! I love to hear about stuff like this. The project was indeed something to celebrate.

Japanese Magnolias are Blooming

Spring is three weeks away.  Usually, we can count on some coolish weather continuing through at least the first two weeks of April.  I have the A/C on because for some weird scientific reason, the house gets warm or retains the warmth of the day, longer.  Outside, it is rainy, humid, but definitely not hot or cold.  I look forward to all the flowers blooming, the azaleas in their full glory, the trees getting tender green leaves, etc. etc..  I don't look forward to warm weather even though we've had one of the coldest winters I can remember.  It just so happens that when the humidity is high, I am constantly sweating, truthfully dropping large drops from my hair to my face, big liquid tears of perspiration drenching my hair, neck, body, etc.

Here are some of the spring photos I've taken in Northwest Florida in years past.
