Beltane blessings to those of you who mark this day. Unless drinks with ChR and J count as a celebration, it will be another holiday unobserved for me.

Hopefully, I'll manage some gardening and a garden related post this weekend.

What is going on in the world of destabee

• Spring continues to explode. Still no photos to capture the explosion.
  
• My office looks like a bomb exploded.
  
• Gasoline has passed $3.80 locally.
  
• My tomato plants survived the cold temperatures and my onions are sprouting.
  
• My bird feeders are quiet because I need to buy feed.
  
• My hummingbird feeder is ready and waiting for its first visitors.
  
• Students continue to whine and campus technology continues to fail at inconvenient times.
  
• My Indiana voter registration has arrived but unless something convinces me otherwise by Tuesday; I won't be voting in the primary as I can't actually support either candidate over the other. I will vote against the other party in the fall.
  
• Colleagues are as stressed and frantic as me which makes for some odd conversations.
