I'm in an absolutely furious, terrible mood. I can't say exactly what did it, but it's tremendously uncomfortable. I just feel like yelling or breaking things, or just being generally snide and nasty. I'm hiding in the office because fishy hasn't done anything to deserve that.
What's worse is that I'm not sure what's going to get me out of this mood, but I'm hoping good food and some television might. Or something. Anything, really. I've had a super-productive day, but I've been in a fairly terrible mood for most of it. No freaking reason. Maybe what's worst is that I'm now cross at myself for allowing this mood to carry on for so long. But if I can't find the cause, I can't make it go away.
In good news, Leslie and I saw a lovely patch of white trout lily today on our walk. I thought it was rare, but apparently it isn't, particularly. It's just that it's not found in too many habitats.
I'd call my grandmother and tell her about it, but I'm afraid that I'm too cross for even that.

Apparently bluepixie got on the Steven Harper baby-eating train a bit early.
The best line from this story is, of course: "I worked with Stephen Harper for five years and never once did he, in that time, eat a baby."
In that time. In that time.
I know it's inappropriate conduct, but really, what I would have given to see that text message on a GO train.

Today was a fabulous spring day. After the muck of earlier in the week - which I freely admit was necessary for growth - today was a complete relief. I needed it.
Seen today: my first damselfly (teneral, I have no idea what kind it was), a pine warbler, a mourning cloak and a spring azure butterfly, a carpenter bee, blooming trilliums, trout lilies, and spring beauty, three painted turtles, and a swallow I suspect may have been a rough-winged.
The walk today was just what I needed, really. It relaxed me and put me in a wonderful mood.

Oooh, embarrassing. I just woke up and realized that I wrote palm warbler. I meant pine warbler. Pine warblers are early. It was my first of the season! But it was not a palm warbler. Sorry.
