On my way to work this morning I saw daffodils in bloom.  :D  Also some other kind of flower, very small and very pale blue; it's very pretty but I don't know what it's called.  ???

Was is like this?

I seem to recall more petals per flower head.

Just a guess.  It's chinodoxa, aka "glory of the snow".

Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

I'd really have to look again.

I realize that Spring comes earlier to Philly than it does up here.  If you have daffs in bloom, it could also be scilla:

That might be it. Looks more like what I remember, anyway.

The daffodils are just coming into bloom. Many more have buds. Plus, you can see the buds on some trees swelling larger each day.

Yesterday afternoon was so nice that instead of going to the gym after work, I just walked home. I was carrying my gym gear with me, and by the time I had walked--briskly--the roughly 29 blocks, I actually had worked up a sweat. It's even warmer this afternoon.

Made it to 74 in Philly on Friday. Cooler today, but still nice and sunny. I have windows open to get some fresh (?--it's the city after all) air in this place.

I'm jealous of you guys. We have 11°C (51°F) here, and it won't get more for our Bochum gathering next weekend. I just posted this forecast on the Bochum thread:


Weather forecast for Bochum

Friday, 25th: cloudy, highs at 12°C (53°F)

Saturday, 26th: coudly, highs at 11°C (51°F)

Sunday, 27th: cloudy, highs at 10°C (50°F)

Night from Sat to Sun it is expected to rain. :-\



Can't y'all send some of the warmth over here? Just for the next weekend?  ;) :laugh:
