Good morning! (4.00 / 5)
or good evening, in keres' case. :)

I thought I'd put up a new cafe while I was up with Finn.  How's everyone doing?

Good.  Imogen is in the kitchen making a salad from our home grown (and very sweet) cucumbers for dinner.  Yum.

It was 68 yesterday -- t-shirt weather. So I am doing fine.

Hope you and Finn went back to sleep and are having a nice long nap.

Re: Good morning! (4.00 / 4)
After lunch today, I walked out of the building to get a bit of fresh air. Our offices are built on a southern slope above the village and from that vantage point we may gaze down upon the miserable teabagging slobs beloved constituency who pay their periodic tribute taxes so that we bureaucrats humble public servants may continue to live in the grand style to which we have become accustomed protect their interests from the lawless hordes...

...but I digress. What I really wanted to announce was that there were leaves! Lovely new pale green leaves on the maples, oaks, poplars and beeches all across the valley. I didn't notice them on the way to work this morning. Its like they jumped out just before lunch. March 11th and there are leaves, fer chrissake!

You've just reminded me that we must head up into the mountains soon so that we can catch the splendor of fall colors on the sweeping stands of Nothofagus gunnii.  Plus, you know, mountains.

Well damn! I was at the library today and I didn't spot any leaves. And there sure aren't any leaves in the woods.

Maybe this is something that is only visible to you creeps who steal our hard-earned money lofty elected officials.

Re: Good morning! (4.00 / 2)
From the forecast it sounds more like weather-permitting but definitely hope to see some -- you can post them in the flog as "building up to spring". :)

Re: Good morning! (4.00 / 4)
We chatted with some friends on Facebook in CA and kazakhstan, then fell asleep.  I had to leave on time this morning for a company meeting, so I didn't get to check back in.

I'm a little behind the eight-ball at work this week, and looking forward to getting back on track.  This baby and work thing is hard to juggle. Especially because the baby is what I really want to be doing with my time, not the other way around.

Good morning!! The weather here has been glorious the last few days and is suppose to be much of the same. The trees are starting to bloom and it is a beautiful time of year.  

Been dealing with medical appointments and all that jazz.  Not always the easiest thing as we all know. LOL

Re: Good morning! (4.00 / 4)
I finally switched doctors because I'd wait 45 mins in the waiting room, and then another half hour naked and wrapped in a paper gown in the exam room.  Stressful.

Speaking of wrapped in paper, my comment about Finn looking like a thanksgiving turkey was meant to be cute - apparently people on the front page thought I was being mean. :/

Re: Good morning! (4.00 / 4)
We had one that did that to us when CBtE was little.  After one too many tantrums after the wait, and the doctor acting like there was something wrong with my kid for being unglued after an hour and half wait, we moved on.

I wasn't offended,  I tease Finn about his little chicken wings all the time.  Just need me some wing sauce, and I could just eat him up.  :)

I'm so glad the week is almost over.  I just want to stay home and be Finn's mommy.  The career thing has never been the be-all end-all for me, and it's safe to say it never will be.

Re: Good Morning to you (4.00 / 4)
It's pretty foggy here too.  I think it's supposed to rain forever this weekend.  Looks like it's getting an early start.

I have more work to do today than I can possibly manage to get done. I hate starting the day off that way.  :(

What are you guys doing this weekend?

Re: Good Morning to you (4.00 / 3)
The great thing about having more work than you can possibly get done is that it means that there's no need to beat yourself up trying.

Jim's starting spring vacation and the next week is full of things that need to be done on weekdays that we can't do when he's in school so I think we'll try to keep it quiet this weekend. Might go to Cincy though -- it's going to rain here all weekend too.

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe (4.00 / 5)
I thought you had too...maybe we're both geezers?

I have always wanted to go to Barcelona, but this year I have other things to occupy my time.  My boss doesn't want me to go, my account people do, we'll see who wins that argument.  Unfortunately, I think the account folks are right...

I'm looking forward to your visit.  You'll have to give us a review of where else you're going, because we think that we're going to do a New England trip this summer (the CBs want to do something other than Ocracoke this year).

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe (4.00 / 4)
Oooooh, go to Barcelona if you get the chance! Its a wonderfully vibrant city, or was some years ago when we visited. Try to see some of the Gaudi architecture, there's just nothing else remotely like it. The little pickled octopi we saw seemed popular, but very chewy. One bar we were in served them a tentacle per serving, sliced from the little critter as it perched atop a pedestal dish on the bar.

Re: Froggy Bottom Cafe (4.00 / 5)
Hi CG - Barcelona,eh? Well it's easy to understand your conflict, but you couldn't ask for a more fun city (except of course Amsterdam ;))to visit. The food, the culture, the shops, and in June - there's even the beach. Ask and I spent a most delicious afternoon eating paella and downing Spanish wine at a wonderful, out of the way, beachfront restaurant. And as far as tapas goes - there's El Irati - right off the Plaza Pi for tasty tidbits - I even spent a few afternoons there on my own and it was a friendly, international crowd. Bring Finn - it's a very child friendly town - maybe Booman friendly too.

I first spotted some green on this old soft maple from the front door of our building a couple of days ago. The light was lousy after work yesterday, but maybe you can still make out the clusters of new growth popping out all over.

I've found some trees with buds but that's all. We're going over to Cincy today; maybe I'll see some leafing out over there -- cities and towns always seem to leaf out before the countryside (I guess it's the additional warmth radiated by the buildings).
