This is not the first picture (see link) I’ve posted of a robin in the birdbath.  But it makes me so happy when birds splash around in there, and robins in particular seem to really enjoy it.

The woodland phlox next to the house is putting on a beautiful show this year!

Our first real print of an actual useful object on our 3D printer at work.  Huzzah!   What is it, you ask?  Take a guess….

Goldfinches are such bright cheerful birds.

That’s a whole lot of noodles.  We were celebrating Star Wars Day (May the Fourth) at work, and these were on hand for lightsaber making.  I am amused because if we had said, let’s do a program where kids can make swords, everyone would have been horrified.  But it’s Star Wars and lightsabers, so it’s OK.

The cherry tree in our side yard has about faded, but this new one behind the garage is just starting to blossom.  Now if only spring would catch up….

The tree we planted last year is looking positively glorious this spring.  I look forward to future years as it grows and gives us an even better show

The area around work has changed a lot since I started there, in particular in the past few years: an invasion of shops, restaurants and random art.  I wonder if the person was thinking of upside down dripping ice cream, inspired by the Ben & Jerry’s across the street.

Doug had to decapitate it to see what the filling is.  I was OK with that.

Saturday night I had a small gathering of friends to celebrate my birthday. I asked everyone to bring something chocolate (there is now more chocolate in the house than I can eat in a year!).  Among the goodies was this chocolate bunny, which I had for dessert today.  Seems appropriate for an Easter birthday.
